elena's question:
I remember there are some Roman relicts in Toulouse. Know anything more about them?(give a different answer) .
Yes, on Avenue des Arenes-Romaines ( 4 km away from the city) there are the remnants of a Roman amphitheatre, used for gladiator fights, and the baths (too bad they're now part of the basement in an apartment building). The story says the Romans built a rural sanctuary here in the 1st century AD, but abandoned the place at the end of the 4th century, and used the bricks for other constructions. Still, the vomitoriums survived. Address the Saint-Raymond museum, if you want a guided visit.
