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, begin at Ramblas-jardin. This beloved street is a popular place to see in the city.

On your last day in France, take time to indulge in shopping at Toulouse’s popular marketplace, Rue Saint Rome. Look for keepsakes or souvenirs to remind you of your trip. Browse boutiques to find unique and stylish fashion pieces.

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 Bapz, a highly recommended choice for tonight's dinner. If you're looking to mix things up, Cabaret Le Kalinka 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!
