🐾 International Cat Day Takeover 🐾

Bonjour, hoomans.
This is Cheddar & Camembert, also known as The Cheese Floofs, and we’ve seized control of the Taste of Toulouse Facebook account. It’s International Cat Day and frankly, it’s about time the true stars got some recognition from the wider public and not just the Team ToT WhatsApp group chat.

Let us introduce the elite feline squad that runs this operation behind the scenes (whether the humans admit it or not):

🧀 Us, Cheddar & Camembert – Certified synchronized snugglers. Masters of the morning guilt-trip – try getting out of bed when we demand belly skritches with eye contact. Experts in strategic meowing when it's definitely dinnertime (even if it's not). Our hobbies include napping in yin-yang formation and silently judging cheese board arrangements.

🚀 Rocket – Ally’s personal tech gremlin. Works from under the laptop stand. Main skill: pressing all the buttons at once. Productivity goes p**f when Rocket logs in.

🎩 Jazzy & Panda – Jenn’s impeccably dressed tuxedo duo. Their fashion sense is sharper than a 36-month-aged Comté and they definitely own more bow ties than you. 10/10 would host their own tasting soirée if given opposable thumbs.

🐶 Zoe – Danielle’s dog. Not technically a cat, but she insists she’s “feline-adjacent” and we respect the confidence. She's good for cuddles and licking crumbs off the floor. Every team needs muscle.

👑 Mimi – Julie’s majestic step-cat and reigning queen of aloof fabulousness. Seen here in her signature “bored of your drama” pose. She enjoys long lounges on plush thrones, ambient lighting, and emotionally withholding affection (unless bribed with treats). Approach with reverence – and snacks.

We are the true Taste of Toulouse team – ensuring every moment of work includes fur, meows, and suspicious amounts of napping.

Celebrate us. Feed us. Worship us.
(And maybe book a food tour if your thumbs work better than ours.)

We’re thrilled to share that Taste of Toulouse has been named a 2025 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Award winner - placing us among the top 10% of experiences worldwide! 🎉

But what makes this award truly meaningful isn’t the ranking - it’s the community behind it.

This recognition belongs to every curious traveler who’s joined us for a tour, every artisan and market vendor who’s welcomed us into their world, and our amazing team of guides who pour their heart into every experience.

Thank you for trusting us to introduce you to the edible treasures of Toulouse. Your reviews, your smiles, your conversations - they all remind us why we do what we do. 💜

Here’s to even more shared stories, tastings, and toasts in the year ahead - and yes, plenty of chocolatines too! 🍫🥐
With endless gratitude,

Jessica & the Taste of Toulouse team

Wishing all of you a very Bonnes Fêtes filled with delicious food and drink and time spent with loved ones!🎄🧀🥂 Tegan Aileen and I checked out the Toulouse Christmas Market and our favorite foods there were the aligot (cheesy, gooey, silky mashed potatoes) and the "hot dog Toulousain" (brioche bun, saucisse de Toulouse, sweet onion jam, topped with melted raclette cheese).😋 What are your favorite wintertime or holiday treats?

And for those of you wondering how Americans celebrate Thanksgiving abroad, the photo above was from a big Franco-American Thanksgiving potluck last weekend, hosted by the Friendly Auberge and local organizations such as Association France États-Unis and Dems Abroad Toulouse. We made a pumpkin cheesecake and also ordered the most delicious sweet potato casserole from l'Appétit Suprême (when in France, do as the French do and lighten your dinner party load by making use of an excellent traiteur).😉

🥳Toulouse has been ranked as the TOP CITY TO VISIT in 2025 by Lonely Planet! 🎉⁠

According to the Lonely Planet’s 2025 ranking, our incredible Ville Rose is a must-see!🧳 While you're packing your suitcase, let us guide you through mistakes NOT to make if you want to get the most out of your visit to Toulouse: ⁠

🚫Skipping the Victor Hugo Market: Don’t miss this local gem! It is a must-visit for food lovers and anyone looking to get a peek at daily life here.⁠ If you're intimidated by the bustling atmosphere and not sure what foods to try there, let us guide you on our award-winning Victor Hugo Market Tour!⁠

🚫Not Trying the Local Specialties: Make sure to taste cassoulet, duck foie gras, Toulouse violets, and a chocolatine. And don't forget to try some local wines from Fronton and Gaillac on our Toulouse Wine Bar Tour!⁠ After all, Toulouse has been listed first in the rating in part thanks to its amazing local gastronomy 🍷⁠

🚫Ignoring Public Transport: Toulouse has excellent public transport – use it to explore the city efficiently and cheaply. A ride on the téléphérique (cable car) will also score you some of the best views of city for a pittance.⁠

🚫Rushing Through the City: Part of the charm of Toulouse is that it allows you to slow down and stop treating travel as a checklist of things to see. Take your time to wander the picturesque streets and soak in the vibrant atmosphere. Stop for a drink or a pastry in the local cafes - it's what the locals do, too!⁠

🚫Not Learning Basic French Phrases: A little effort with the language goes a long way. Even if you can't say anything else, always start off interactions with "bonjour" (hello) and end with "merci, avoir" (thanks, goodbye). Politeness is very important here and making that effort will help to ensure that you get the warm hospitality that Toulouse is known for.⁠
