In this aerial view you can see where the apartment is - right next to the Canal de Brienne, and close to the Pont Saint Pierre. Note that because the picture was taken in the spring or summer, the building is hidden by trees (thus keeping the apartment cool!)

Just a few hundred meters further down the Quai is the Espace Bazacle which is ranked #22 out of 274 things to do in Toulouse. It is also visible in the photo taken from the Pont des Catalans.

The views across the rivers from just in front of the apartment are particularly beautiful at night - very romantic!

The apartment is just 200 m from one of the most popular sites in Toulouse - the Place St Pierre. There are always lots of young people sitting at tables outside the many bars, or enjoying other events such as dancing and various expositions. When Toulouse wins the Rugby Championship, the place goes wild. And yet, none of this has affected us when we are at Le Pierrotin. For some reason, the fans don't venture beyond the Canal de Brienne.

Toulouse can be tough for car drivers because the centre can be very congested. However, Le Pierrotin is very well placed for driving to locations in the west of the city. For several years, Simon was working at the Hospital in Purpan. It would typically only take about 10-12 minutes to get there by car, either via the "rocade" (bypass) or via smaller routes when there is congestion. Getting to the airport is also only about 12 minutes, although best to avoid the rush hour!
