Toulouse, France - 9th September 2007

By: Mistigree

Today I went to see the Garonne. It is the river that crosses Toulouse.

From the "Pont-Neuf" brigde, we can see "la prairie des filtres". It is the name of one of the Garonne's bank, where people go to relax or just to wander.

I read that at the begining of the XX century, la prairie des filtres had many different functions : it was used for planes landings, agricultural fairs, rugby matches, allotments, or even sheeps pastures !

I had a rest in the grass near the water, it was so fresh (the sun was high this day !!)
The bridge you can perceive behind me is Le Pont-Neuf, the oldest bridge of Toulouse.

And this is "le dôme de la Grave" (La Grave was an hospital). Some years ago, Mistigree was living just in front of it !!

Then I went to see "l'église des Jacobins", one of the churches of Toulouse.

Here is the entrance.

And the inside of the church where the stained-glass are reflected on walls and pillars.
