Which one to choose in Toulouse
Two churches in Toulouse. Church of the Jacobins has no online ticket listed; Toulouse Cathedral has no online ticket listed. The table and the two notes below put them side by side; the full pages have what to see, the ticket and the timing for each.
Toulouse, France
The Jacobins is ticketed, cheaply, and the ticket covers the church and the cloister; the chapter house and the chapel of Saint Antonin are usually included when open. Buy at the door. This is the one building in Toulouse that repays a slow visit, and the city knows it: deckchairs are put out in the nave in summer so that people can sit and look up, which is not a gimmick but the only comfortable way to see the vault.
Toulouse, France
The Cathedral of Saint Stephen, Saint-Etienne, stands on a square in the old town of Toulouse, southern France, about fifteen minutes' walk from the Capitole square, and entry is free. It is the cathedral of Toulouse, but it is less visited than the city's great Romanesque basilica of Saint-Sernin or the Jacobins church, partly because of its strange, lopsided appearance, which is exactly what makes it interesting.
