Guided tour: in the footsteps of the famous women of Toulouse
On the occasion of Mother’s Day, the cultural agency paysdoc.com organize a guided tour in the center of Toulouse on Saturday. From Prehistory to the Second World War, discover the famous women of the Pink City. Clémence Isaure, Marie-Louise Dissard, Pallas-Athéna the women of Claude Nougaro and many others! “They are legendary figures who have falsified the identity of Toulouse”, explains Angeline Bonnet, tour guide.
An innovative concept
Don’t be afraid, this is not a school visit. Do you have a question? Do not hesitate, this is an interactive visit. “It’s not a course, you don’t need to have a background in history to follow and understand the visit. I always present things in a fun way, with a lot of humor, it’s the surest way to capture attention”, assures Angeline. Anecdotes, stories and biographies, the visit takes place in a playful setting, which follows the whole concept of “stories of History”, an offbeat and atypical format proposed by the paysdoc.com. Far from traditional tourist visits, this agency takes you on an adventure through the streets and monuments of the city and offers you a new way of approaching Heritage and History. Angeline says: “I will paint the portraits of these women based on elements where we see them. For example, Clémence Isaure is represented in status on the facade of the Capitol, or the Belle Paule on the Galerue des Arcades.”
Discover the heritage
The visit will take place in the center, around the Capitol, passing by Saint-Sernin and the small streets of the city, less mentioned: “I’m thinking of rue de la Pomme, you don’t necessarily go there and it’s the place where Marie-Louise Dissart lived”, confides Angéline.
