Day 14 of your road trip in France is your departure day. This is your chance to catch a last glimpse of Toulouse before saying goodbye to this wonderful destination. If you've still got time left, we recommend doing some last-minute shopping or sightseeing.

If you're up for some more sightseeing, we recommend visiting Basilica Of St. Sernin, a culturally significant church before you head out.

Maximize your last day in France and go on a shopping spree in Toulouse’s shopping center, the lively Rue Saint Rome. Browse for souvenirs to remind you of your wonderful journey in France. Discover boutiques with stylish fashion choices to upgrade your wardrobe.

Before you conclude your road trip in France, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Toulouse.

Have a fantastic dining experience at Allegory Coffee Bar, a highly recommended choice for tonight's dinner. If you're looking to mix things up, Le 5 Wine Bar offers an enticing alternative with its varied menu.

You’ll then say farewell to Toulouse. Drive to the airport, return your car, and take the opportunity to get some last-minute souvenirs before you board your flight home. We wish you a pleasant journey and hope you leave with many wonderful memories of your road trip in France!
