About the Tour
So, you understand English, like the "Free Tour" format and are in Toulouse, most likely on Vacation. You'll be looking for me then! ;)
I've lived here 20 years now and have spent quite a lot of that time trying to write an Historical Fiction of this city. What does that mean for you? It means I've studied its History with a passion and have always regarded its Historical events through the lens of "How could this event best be told in narrative form?" Which is what I do. I tell stories. True stories of things that actually happened here in Toulouse. But stories, nevertheless.
On this Tour you you will see…
- Place du Capitole
- Rue Saint Rome
- Hotel Assezat
- Pont Neuf
- La Daurade and la Basilique
- Les Jacobins
- Rue de Taur
- La Basilica St Sernin
And, although the History
About the Guide
Hi, I'm the guy that'll show you the fun things that there are to do in Toulouse, and will share with you the dramatic events that have occurred and not just the dry boring history. I am a writer, researcher, barman, quizmaster and history fanatic. 18 years ago I moved from Edinburgh to Toulouse, that's from Rain and Whisky to Sun and Swimming Pools. And no, as much as I miss my people, I've never, ever regretted the decision. I love this place, I love how alive it is, and always has been. And, if you let me show it to you, you will too.
How to Find Guide
I'll be in a hat and the Hawaiian shirt waiting across the street from the cafe "Les Delices de Saturnin." I will be standing in the grounds of the Basilica Saint-Sernin at the point where where rue Saint- Bernard joins Place Saint-Sernin. Type "Harry's Free Tour Toulouse" into google if you require a GPS pin. If you can see doors into the Basilica then you are in the WRONG place. The Cafe "Les Delices de Saturnin" is across the street from the rdv and is open every day from 8 if you want to arrive early and grab a coffee or if you need to hide from the rain.
