"La Ville Rose" hosts a huge monthly market packed with books, military memorabilia, fine French porcelain and other eclectic goodies. Even better, there’s also a weekly flea market over at the Place Saint-Sernin with around 50 stalls, making the city a bargain hunter’s dream destination. Toulouse is a wonderful, underrated place to explore too, with pastel pink medieval buildings in the old town and La Cité de L’espace, a sprawling theme park dedicated to space exploration, on the outskirts of town.
