Culture
The Église de Toujouse has Romanesque origins. After being looted during the Wars of Religion in 1569, it was extensively altered in the 16th century. Its south portal is designed in the Renaissance style, while the bell tower stands separately from the church building.
The church is built almost entirely of flat tiles. The square bell tower is accessible through a Renaissance-style door.
The visitor trail at the Musée du Paysan Gascon covers traditional crafts, wine culture, the history of agriculture, and the traditional homes of Gascony. Year-round, the museum also offers workshops, meetings with craftspeople, Gascon evenings, traditional dances, and concerts featuring polyphonic singing.
Other named sites in Toujouse include the Arènes de Toujouse. They were built by 144 volunteers from three départements between 1999 and 2001 using numerous reused materials, and hosted the Coupe de France des cadrilla. Every year, the Arènes host several Courses landaises.
