This little church tends to get lost among the other buildings that surround it but no visitor should miss a visit to the lovely Eglise du Sacre Coeur. The structure is outstanding, recalling something of a Gothic castle, and the surroundings are worth checking out as well, like the little park in front of it, for example, with its shady trees and relaxing vibes.

Education

Just in the not-so-remote case that you fall in love with Toulouse, and in case you love it enough to stay, you may be interested in knowing that the Cartoucherie neighborhood is home to a number of educational institutions, like 12 professional schools, several libraries and the campus of the Ecoles de Santé de Midi-Pyrénnés of Toulouse. Perhaps you could even pick up a little French?
