The colors ranges from a bright orange to a subtle red and gives it an overall pinkish look. It looks warm and welcoming , a welcoming sign to the travelers on the French <strong>St. James Way<\/strong>, the route to Santiago de Compostela. Two Unesco World Heritage Sights are located in Toulouse. Firstly, the <strong>Basilique St. Sernin<\/strong> where I saw a group of women get a little booklet signed and stamped, probably on their way to Santiago.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">The other is the <strong>Canal du Midi<\/strong>, an almost 200km long canal that connects the Atlantic with the Mediterranean, built during the time of Louis XIV. The World Heritage label is more thanks to its historical significance, I guess, because the segment I found was, to be frank, really plain.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-578\" src=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/img_20141030_120141941.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"img_20141030_120141941\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-581\" src=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/img_20141030_140307572.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"img_20141030_140307572\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_582\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-582\" class=\"wp-image-582\" src=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/img_20141030_141818973_hdr-e1423394894333.jpg?w=640&amp;h=360&amp;crop=1\" alt=\"img_20141030_141818973_hdr-e1423394894333\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-582\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">le clo\u00eetre du mus\u00e9e des Augustins<\/p><\/div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-584\" src=\"https:\/\/maponmyplate.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/10\/img_20141030_142930757_hdr.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"img_20141030_142930757_hdr\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify;\">My favorite spot was the <strong>St. Etienne Cathedral<\/strong>, it looks like it was two completely different churches combined.
