Where to stay in Dalbade

Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.

Dalbade is where a Toulouse stay puts the Musée des Augustins, the Collection Bemberg and Notre-Dame de la Dalbade within the same walk, with place Étienne-Esquirol as the obvious fixed point. Collections set the geography. Anyone aiming at the Muséum de Toulouse or the Georges Labit Museum will find both on the same district list.

The Piscine Alfred-Nakache of Toulouse and the Cinematheque of Toulouse round out the reasons to be here.

About Dalbade

What are the main landmarks in Dalbade?

This is the museum end of Toulouse. Toulouse Cathedral, Notre-Dame de la Dalbade, Notre-Dame du Taur, the église des Cordeliers de Toulouse, the Église du Gésu and Saint Jerome church of Toulouse account for the churches, with the Monastère Notre-Dame de la Daurade beside them. Galleries follow: the Musée des Augustins, the Collection Bemberg, the Musée Paul-Dupuy, the Georges Labit Museum, the Musée du Vieux Toulouse and the Muséum de Toulouse.

Les Abattoirs and the Cinematheque of Toulouse close the run.

What is the history of Dalbade?

Dalbade has no founding year in the record. Age shows instead in its buildings: the Maison romano-gothique de Toulouse and the Maison Seilhan are both entered as houses, and the Monastère Notre-Dame de la Daurade as a monastery. Museums carry the rest of the memory, the Musée du Vieux Toulouse for the city itself, the musée départemental de la Résistance et de la Déportation for what its own name records, and the Museum of Medical Instruments of the Hospital of Toulouse for medicine.

None of those entries carries a year.

Where is Dalbade?

Place Étienne-Esquirol falls inside Dalbade, together with Notre-Dame de la Daurade, Les Abattoirs and the Muséum de Toulouse.
