Gifts and souvenirs Midi-Toulousain

In the multitude of shops dedicated to the pilgrimage, to Bernadette Soubirous and to the Virgin, the Palais du Rosaire is a reference, as much for the quality of the products offered as for the choice. Two stores await you, one of which is located in front of the entrance to the Sanctuary. Since 1914, it has been selling religious souvenirs: statues of the Virgin Mary or Bernadette de Soubirous, candles, rosaries, jewelry, bottles and cans to be filled with water from the grotto... But you can also find many articles on the theme of the mountain.

Right next to the Capitole, among the unusual boutiques and booksellers, you'll find La Marchande de Violettes. This adorable stall is like a country house devoted body and soul to Toulouse's emblematic flower! Whether it's tea, sweets, cosmetics, crockery or household linen, everything here evokes the violet and its long history with the city of the Capitouls. A souvenir? A gift typical of the city? A scented pleasure for the home? Don't hesitate to ask the owner for advice and information: she's got it covered!

Terracotta brick, the pride of the Méridionaux, is particularly characteristic of the towns and villages of southern France. A large part of Occitania is shining with this pink color in the morning, red in the afternoon and purple in the evening, thanks to the traditional local building material. That's when Mon Païs had the idea to gather local brick makers to create a beautiful range of souvenir bricks, to be found in many stores in Haute-Garonne and Tarn, as well as in Montauban. A nice souvenir to bring back from your stay in Occitania !

This craftsman works with driftwood from the Pyrenees, which he combines with rolled stones. Materials marked by time and in this way moving and poetic. Materials that he recovers on foot, along rivers and streams. Each creation is unique: the largest (a 2.80 m high driftwood fir) is on display at the Aquensis thermal baths in Bagnères-de-Bigorre. From these woods and stones he composes decorative objects, such as firs or lamps. It is possible to make custom orders. National park spirit.
