The Toulouse Capitole University invites you to discover its heritage on 18 September as part of the "Lights on the canal for the 4th "Nuit du patrimoine""!

Organised by the City of Toulouse, the "Nuit du Patrimoine" is part of the national event "Les Journées Européennes du Patrimoine". After a year marked by the closure of cultural venues, the 18th and 19th of September 2021 will celebrate heritage establishments throughout France and Europe and offer everyone an opportunity to get together. The theme of this year's event, "Patrimoine pour tous (Heritage for All)", reflects the event's unifying ambition, and its inclusive spirit invites everyone to celebrate the richness of our heritage!
