The Manufacture des Tabacs site
A place steeped in history that combines industrial heritage with educational innovation
Located in the heart of Toulouse, along the Canal de Brienne, close to the Bazacle, the Manufacture des Tabacs is an architectural and historical gem that now hosts top-tier courses in law, economics, management and social sciences. Its modern teaching facilities, well-equipped lecture theatres and collaborative study rooms make it an ideal setting for student success.
Opened in 1843, the Manufacture des Tabacs was originally a tobacco production site, bearing witness to Toulouse’s industrial heritage. Renovated and converted into a university campus, it has retained its old-world charm whilst adapting to the modern requirements of higher education.
