Known as the ‘Ville Rose’ thanks to its extensive use of Terracotta brickwork, this lively city is still relatively undiscovered. Stroll through narrow mediaeval streets, along the quayside of the majestic Garonne River or the tree lined Canal du Midi and enjoy a drink on the elegant Place du Capitole before indulging in hearty south western cuisine in one of the many bustling bistros and restaurants. Cultural highlights include the Foundation Bemberg and Europe's largest Romanesque church.

Located in a quiet street just a few minutes from the Garonne River and a 10 minute stroll to the Place de la Capitole, this magnificent 18th century 'Hôtel particulier' or merchant's townhouse opened as a boutique hotel in 2015. The 32 rooms are elegantly furnished in a contemporary style with Art Deco touches.
A classic French barge which spends much of the year on the UNESCO World Heritage avenues of the ancient Canal du Midi, Anjodi was also the secret star of Rick Stein’s popular French Odyssey TV series, during which the chef (and his dog) explored the culinary traditions of southern France.
Rosa was once a Dutch “Clipper” barge, built to carry cargoes on the offshore waterways of Holland. The wide beam of these former working vessels makes them ideal for conversion into comfortable hotel barges and today Rosa navigates the canals of southwest France including Bordeaux and Gascony. She also featured alongside Anjodi in the successful television series, Rick Stein’s French Odyssey.
