Toulouse atmosphere…
Historic pedigree
The superb palace from the XVI Century plunges you into the Renaissance era. Toulouse boasts around one hundred mansion houses. This is the most sumptuous example of such a building; the Hôtel d’Assézat was designed by the great Toulouse architect Nicolas Bachelier, with its paved main courtyard, the arcades of its loggia and its superb stately tower in rose brick.
For a historical film or a documentary on heritage themes, the Ville Rose is sure to seduce you.
Raw contemporary elegance
Gigantism is also a key aspect of Toulouse. Not long ago the Airbus A380 was assembled here and « flying whales », Beluga aircraft, still regularly cross the Toulouse skies.
The “Ville rose” also offers open, bare spaces, which combine concrete and grey steel, and will give your shoot a very urban type of setting.
Wild nature
No sooner have you left the city centre and nature takes command. The Canal du Midi provides the ideal leafy backdrop to your shoots. A veritable green waterway, reflecting the plane trees that stand along its banks, it changes colours with the seasons.
A wonderful natural setting for your film.
