Esquirol
Esquirol is a district of the hypercenter of the city. It is organized around the Esquirol square, and connects the street of Metz to the Pont Neuf, while passing by the place of the Stock Exchange, and the place of the Trinity.
The square was named “Esquirol” in 1893, in homage to the alienist doctor Jean-Etienne Esquirol, whose birthplace was located nearby.
It is a very lively district, where small stores and monuments line the streets. It is mainly composed of buildings. The architecture is very rich, between Haussmannian buildings, facades in corondage and pedestrian lanes.
The district is well connected to the Toulouse public transport network, especially thanks to the Esquirol square: it hosts a metro station, an important stop for many bus lines, as well as several Vélô stations. The square also houses an underground parking lot.
