About

Today the Capitole houses the Theatre National du Capitole, built in 1736, and the Town Hall. The works of local 19th century artists such as Jean-Paul Laurens or Henri Martin are displayed in the Henri-IV courtyard. Nearby, Toulouse celebrities are honored in the Hall of Fame. The doors open out onto the Place de la Capitole, embraced by red-brick buildings and the mark of the Toulouse Cross, a symbol of the town's historic past.

This is one of the smallest open-air markets in the city, but it offers great seasonal fruit and vegetables, organic cheese, excellent bread (particularly delicious sesame breads) and garden plants in the spring. A few second-hand book dealers usually set up stalls on the corner of the Place du Capitole.
