This was the second time I visited Toulouse, but my last visit was not a full a day, and my major recollection is that I walked around an hour with my heavy backpack before I found a hotel. I will have to admit that on my return there was not much that seemed familiar. Neither this time did I spend that much time in the city. It remains to see how much I recognize on next my next return... In any case, Place Capitole is the heart of Toulouse. It was a rainy night, and the wet ground gives the square a certain lustre.
