Sporting city
A city on the move! Toulouse is the ideal business destination that combines work, sport and relaxation. For joggers, the routes along the Garonne or along the paths lining the Canal de Brienne or the Canal du Midi are ideal for all levels of fitness.
The Ville Rose has many facets, and behind its seemingly gentle pace of life lies a fiery temperament, which takes shape on the rugby pitches as well as the football fields. The most popular sport is rugby. The values of rugby – respect, team spirit, sharing and surpassing oneself – are all sporting values that are reflected in the human warmth of the city itself. With an incredible track record, Toulouse is undoubtedly a land of rugby.
The Stade Ernest-Wallon, temple of rugby
The Stade Ernest-Wallon has teamed up with activity provider Manatour to open the doors of the stadium to visitors. The stadium is a place of life, where the greatest emotions have been experienced and which has thrilled thousands of spectators. Visitors can discover the history of this century-old club. Fans and rugby enthusiasts are challenged on their knowledge throughout the visit with a question and answer game. On the tour, participants will discover the outdoor facilities, including the Wall of Honour and the Wall of Internationals, the changing rooms, the stands, the pitchside and the training areas. To discover the values of rugby, such as integrity, passion, solidarity, discipline and respect, visitors can try their hand at passing and lineouts in interactive workshops on the training pitch.
Le Stadium, home of the Violets
As with rugby, you can take part in Toulouse’s football adventure by taking over Le Stadium. Le Stadium has also teamed up with Manatour to offer visitors the chance to explore certain areas, such as the dressing rooms and the Presidential Boxes, and experience the magic of the pitch during a professional event. From the dressing rooms to the pitch, Le Stadium also has areas for organising all types of event, with capacity for up to 1,500 people.
Watersports
Toulouse can also be explored on water. Bordered by the Garonne and crossed by the famous Canal du Midi, the Ville Rose offers an exceptional setting for water sports enthusiasts. Whether it’s rowing, paddle-boarding, canoeing or swimming, Toulouse offers a multitude of activities for water adventure enthusiasts. With its dynamic clubs and top-level competitions, the city attracts both experienced sportspeople and beginners keen to discover new sensations. In Toulouse, water sports become a real experience, where you glide through the heart of a unique natural and historical heritage.
