Activity itinerary

Toulouse (Pass by)

Meet your guide at the Bibliothèque d’étude et du patrimoine and set off on a walking tour of Toulouse. Learn how religion, education, and culture have shaped the city from the Middle Ages to the present day. Begin your journey in medieval Europe, a time when knowledge was inseparable from faith. Discover how education served religious and political purposes, particularly in regions marked by doctrinal conflict. Learn how teaching, reading, and writing were closely supervised by the Church, and how learning was transmitted through sermons, manuscripts, and ritual practices. Continue your tour and see how the emergence of universities transformed knowledge into a more structured and institutionalized activity. Find out how Toulouse became a major centre of learning, attracting students from across Europe and contributing to the training of clerics, jurists, administrators, and even future Popes.
