Toulouse,la ville rose?
When you visit the city, or look at pictures of it, you will likely notice the warm colors in the bricks and and roof. While you might not think it's all pink there are some pink-ish bricks, as well as oranges and reds and the roofs are orange.



The color in the bricks and the roof is from clay.

Reply:No it's not because people there see 'la vie en rose'



It's just because of the color of buildings, the stones
