I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world.
My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting.
Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers

You can go on with wonderful monuments in different parts of the city of Toulouse such as the Monument to the Combattants de 1870 at the Allée Jules Guesde.
There are monuments that had no time to go in and passed by them again or first time. This is the case of the Théatre Sorano created in 1694 on the former auditorium of the National History Museum of Toulouse. This is another nice spot at the Allée Jules Guesde and near other museums and gardens of the pink city of Toulouse. A grandiose area to see many nice things in the city and fantastic walking tour. The official Théâtre Sorano of Toulouse : https://www.theatre-sorano.fr/
This is again a nice area to walk with plenty to see and enjoy your stay walking is a must in Toulouse. The magnificent Colonne Dupuy is just in front of the Halle aux Grains (see post) and on Place Dupuy, you can notice an imposing column, almost 20 meters high. It was erected in honor of General Dupuy, hero of the French revolution. This column is also a fountain, framed by 4 powerful griffins at each corner thereof. The statue at the top was not added until later ; it is Dame Tholose, allegory of the city of Toulouse, made in 1550 at the request of the Capitouls, and who was previously at the top of the Donjon du Capitole. (see post).
The Collége Pierre de Fermat or middle school at rue Gambetta , Toulouse was founded in 1808. The college bears the name of the famous mathematician and physicist Pierre de Fermat, from the region. The school gives a second life to the Hôtel de Bernuy, one of the most beautiful mansions of the Renaissance. It was built in the 16C for the merchant in pastel Jean de Bernuy, Today, 400 hundred years later, it is undoubtedly one of the oldest colleges in France still within its original walls A royal host, François Ier, came to thank, right here, his benefactor Jean de Bernuy for having paid the deposit when he was a prisoner of Charles V of Spain. It is since this court of honor that the hotel tower has risen, Pierre de Fermat was a French mathematician and lawyer from the 17C. He is famous for his major contributions in the field of mathematics, in particular in geometry and theory of numbers. He was also a magistrate respected and exercised as an advisor to the Parliament of Toulouse. His analytical mind and mathematical discoveries have left a lasting imprint in the field of mathematics, making him one of the most important figures in the history of mathematics.
