The student square of Toulouse, busy with terraces and a short walk to the river.
Place Saint-Pierre is the best-known student gathering spot in Toulouse. Terraces line the square, which sits next to the Garonne quays and the Hôtel-Dieu. From the Pont Saint-Pierre, there is a long view of the river and the red brick skyline. Many bars and cheap restaurants spread out along the nearby streets, and in summer the quays host Toulouse Plages with sand and deckchairs.
