REDUCED in price - In the heart of the popular Cote Pavee district, close to shops, authentic bourgeois Toulouse with a traditional look of more than 200m2. It will seduce you with its authenticity, its high ceilings and its generous volumes.

- Ground floor: the central corridor opens onto a through living room with its 18th century fireplace on one side and onto the kitchen and dining room on the other. The platform is approximately 80m2. All the rooms benefit from plenty of light and two French doors opening onto the garden.

- Upstairs: 4 bedrooms of 16m2 each and a bathroom.

- Second floor: a maid's room and a large space of 60m2 to exploit.

The garden, a true green setting, extends over a plot of approximately 800m2, offering an outdoor space suitable for creating a swimming pool and a beautiful terrace. This family home has always been maintained.

Today it deserves a refresh but it has not been distorted. Its location, its surface area and its construction make it a house which will appeal to families wishing to find a quality of life close to schools and in the heart of a popular district of Toulouse.

A garage, a workshop and the possibility of parking several cars on the plot. Reversible air conditioning in the living room and master bedroom. Alarm with remote monitoring. The house is built on a crawl space.

The Department of Haute-Garonne, despite its ever growing population, still boasts beautiful scenery of undulating hills and valleys.

The region as a whole is a popular choice for an active holiday and the Haute-Garonne is ideal for mountainous activities including biking and walking and of course skiing during the winter. The department has four ski resorts.

If religious buildings are of some interest then the Haute-Garonne will not disappoint. Sites including the Toulouse basilica, the Saint Bertrand-de-Comminges cathedral and the Saint-Just basilica of Valcabrere are on the door-step.

Gascony plays a big part in the department and dishes are based on goose fat or oil flavoured with garlic, shallots, and spices. Goose and duck farms produce foie gras, which is then sold fresh or made into pate and terrines. Nothing is wasted, and the rest of the bird is made into confits, preserves used to make stew and soups.

Life in the mountain villages and farms of the Pyrenees has remained largely unchanged. Their southern climate means that it can be warm and sunny from as early as February. Roads are good and generally well sign-posted, although snow lies on the higher peaks until May and some of the highest passes may be closed. The climate is a cross between Atlantic Maritime and Mediterranean.

Toulouse is France's fourth biggest city and has a very lively atmosphere with a strong student presence. Stroll around the historic centre, walking alongside the Garonne and the Canal du Midi, or stop in one of the many pavement cafes for a delicious cup of coffee.
