Exploring from your holiday apartment in Les Minimes

Les Minimes was originally an area occupied by a religious order of the same name and dates from the late 15th century. In the 19th century it became an area for horticulture and many growers remained into the 1960s. Today the area is made up of narrow streets and pleasant houses, constructed with traditional bricks and pebbles called “the Toulousaines”. It is a pleasant, low rise neighbourhood, with plenty of bars, restaurants and cafes, with the city centre lying just across the Canal du Midi to the south. It is a good choice for those looking for a holiday apartment in Toulouse just a little removed from the bustle of the city centre.

An alternative to your holiday accommodation in Les Minimes

A holiday apartment in Rangueil will see you cross the city centre to a district in the south. Here you will find many of Toulouse’s aeronautical and technological colleges and industries. It is bordered to the west by the Garonne, with extensive riverside park lands to enjoy. This is a more modern area of Toulouse, with many well-kept houses and apartment blocks. The proximity of the academic institutions and technological businesses make it a popular residential area for students and workers alike and it is within a few kilometres of the city centre.
