Les Bains Douches

Toulouse


If it's originality you want, let the colourful modernist murals on this former bathhouse draw you into Toulouse's quirkiest address. Depending on your tastes, you'll either adore the shimmering chrome and subdued lighting in the rooms, or you'll dream of more homey, conventional comforts. Parking is an additional €12.
