  • English
    • The Notre-Dame-du-Taur church, located in the heart of Toulouse, is a place steeped in history and spirituality. It is located on Rue du Taur, an important axis linking the Place du Capitole to the Saint-Sernin basilica.


      A little history

      It owes its name to Saint Saturnin, the first bishop of Toulouse, who was martyred in the 3rd century. According to legend, his body, dragged by a bull, fell to pieces on the spot where the church was erected. This story is depicted in a gilded fresco above the altar.


      Architecture

      Built between the 14th and 16th centuries, the church features a southern Gothic style characteristic of the region. Its facade is recognizable by its bell tower, which blends harmoniously with the buildings on the street.

      The church houses a black Virgin, Our Lady of the Rampart, dressed in brocade. The interior, all sobriety, encourages meditation.


      Please note, the site is closed for renovations until the end of 2025.

    Very peculiar façade, as much as Toulouse is, the Cite Rose, which surprises in a central street full of life. A shame that nothing can be discovered from its interior
