Day 15 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 Square Charles De Gaulle, a photogenic public square before you head out.
Make the most of your final day in France by visiting Toulouse’s iconic markets and shopping establishments in the buzzing Espace Saint-Georges. Secure the perfect souvenirs for your family and friends back home or buy yourself a remembrance of your amazing experience in France.
Before you conclude your road trip in France, drop by another restaurant for a last chance at a memorable dining experience in Toulouse.
Enjoy a lovely meal at Bapz, a top-rated place to have dinner tonight. Alternatively, if your taste buds call for something different, Cabaret Le Kalinka is another top choice with a popular 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!
