Toulouse, France, is known for its pinkish-hued buildings, its location as the French industrial aerospace hub, for being the home of one of the oldest universities in Europe (established in 1229), and, for foodies, the variety of fresh seafood, meats, and cheeses for sale at the Victor Hugo Market.
Named after the famed author of Les Miserables and The Hunchback of Notre Dame, the market is open every day except Mondays from dawn until 1pm. Whether it’s a creamy-soft camembert with its edible rind, a few dozen escargot ready to be dropped into a bath of butter and garlic, or some of the freshest fish in southwest France, shoppers will find it here. 🇫🇷
