This Valentine’s, you don’t need instructions to love. You just need the right gift. 💝
In the new year, the Ville Rose awakens to the rhythm of Candlelight concerts, which shake up the codes of the local scene. The Chapelle des Carmélites and the Chambre de Commerce et d’ Industrie are transformed from solemn settings into vibrant stages, where candles sublimate tributes to Queen, Ludovico Einaudi and other musical icons in an absolutely magical atmosphere.
All the more so as these evenings offer excellent reasons to rush out: the rare opportunity to see Toulouse’s heritage come alive with a human and acoustic warmth that’s simply timeless.
Adorned with the white stone and red brick that have given Toulouse its reputation as a pink city, the former hotel is an important landmark in the Toulouse landscape. Located in the heart of the city, the Palais Consulaire is home to the Chamber of Commerce and stands as a symbol of the city’s wealth and growth. Pass through the corridors of this Haussmann building, and arrive in a room decorated with paintings for a candlelit concert featuring the finest music.
The Palais Consulaire is located at 2 Rue d’Alsace Lorraine, Toulouse.
This classical and neoclassical building, formerly the largest hospital in Toulouse, closed its doors in 1987. Today, it’s an integral part of the city’s heritage, both a Unesco World Heritage site and a listed historic monument. It is part of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage route, and can be visited. You can enjoy candlelit concerts in the Chapelle des Soeurs.
The Chapelle du CHU de l’Hôtel-Dieu Saint-Jacques is located at 2 Rue Charles Viguerie, Toulouse.

Located right in the center of town, you’ve probably passed it without noticing it. It once belonged to a convent, but today it’s the only building that wasn’t destroyed during the French Revolution. This little Sistine Chapel may not look like much from the outside, but we promise you it’s well worth the detour. What makes it unique are itsmurals and ceiling. This extravagance of ornament makes it an unusual venue, ideal for the intimate setting created by Candlelight concerts. With its baroque architecture, candlelight and classical sounds, this is an event not to be missed.
La Chapelle des Carmélites is located at 1 Rue de Périgord, Toulouse.
La Halle aux Grains: A landmark downtown venue and home to the Orchestre National du Capitole de Toulouse, La Halle aux Grains is renowned for its exceptional acoustics and hosts the majority of the city’s symphony concerts and major classical events.

The Candlelight concerts are set to turn the pink city upside down once again, with each venue more incredible than the last , immersed in a sea of candles and classical music. This magical formula has made these concerts a popular event all over the world.
Put on your best evening wear or your most comfortable jogging suit, and let yourself be swept away by a magical hour of music.
