From the airport, you can take the metro into town for €1.60. It's good for 1 1/2 hours of travel, if you need to make a transfer. The ride into town takes about 25-30 minutes. The first train leaves the airport at 5:57 am and the last train is at roughly midnight. To get to the airport, the first train leaves Palais du Justice at 5:50 am.

Place du Capitole is Toulouse's main square.
The Capitole or City Hall on the eastern side of the square was built in the 1750s.
Notre Dame du Taur--Toulouse's Catholic Church.
We stopped for an empanada at El Almacen, located at 16 Rue du Taur (next to the Catholic Church). It's not very French but I never pass up getting an empanada.
I had the beef empanada for €2.80. It was as good as the ones you get in Argentina except that the inside was still cold.
Basilique Saint Sernin. The cathedral was built on the spot where Saint Sernin, patron saint of Toulouse, became detached from the bull that dragged the martyr to his death. It's a stopping spot for pilgrims on the Chemin de Santiago.
From Saint Sernin, head southwest to the Garonne River. It's a popular spot to hang out on the weekends. If you can find a table, you can order some wine and snacks. If not, you cannot purchase wine, even if you can find a grassy area to sit.
Across the river, you'll find the University Hospital (with the domed roof).
It was time for Happy Hour and we stopped at Mucho! near the Pont Neuf. Happy Hour is from 5:30-7:00. Sangria was €3 and it was good!
The restaurant we had chosen for dinner wasn't open yet so we had another drink at La Cave d'A Cote on 5 Rue Henri de Gorsse. This time, I had a glass of Cidre for €3.
