Toulouse Walks: 5 Festive Routes Between Christmas & New Year

While the end-of-year celebrations are in full swing at the end of December 2025 in Toulouse, the hearty meals follow one another. Between New Year’s Eve, Christmas Day and tables all over Occitania, it’s time to have a little break to stretch your legs – and eliminate a few calories – before leaving again, next week, for the New Year’s Day meal. So here are some ideas for circuits to follow in the Pink City.

## #1. the calm of Ramier Island

For those looking for calm after the tumult of Christmas family meals, go to Ramier Island. From the Empalot footbridge, towards Fer à Cheval, pedestrian paths, sheltered from traffic and bordered by the Garonne, are available to you. This is the opportunity to discover the brand new green space built in place of the old exhibition center. Up to 5km shaded and green walk, with the astonishing impression of being somewhere other than Toulouse.

## #2. A little water in the City

For new Toulouse residents, and those welcoming family to the Pink City for the holidays, here’s a 100% urban discovery route. Start at the Capitol Square, then head towards the Saint-Sernin basilica via rue du Taur, and the place Saint-Pierre – feel free to stop for a drink! – before passing through the dome of la Grave, la Daurade, les Carmes, and the Jardin des Plantes. Cross the footbridge to the Large Round and reach the square Wilson via the smaller streets.From there, you’ll have a great view of the city. It’s a beautiful walk to enjoy for an afternoon.
