More information on Salle des Illustres (La)
In the heart of the Capitole, this impressive hall exhibits the work of Toulouse artists from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th. A highlight of the exhibition is the portrait of La Belle Paule, a delightful young girl who enchanted King François 1 and who was ordered by decree of the town councillors, known as Capitouls, to appear twice a day on her balcony in the Rue du Languedoc in order to prevent rioting among her admirers. This is also a registry office for weddings; couples from Toulouse can take their vows here, in front of Henri Martin's impressionist frescoes. For specific timings, call ahead or check the website.
