We’re not the only ones making good resolutions. The city of Toulouse will also be changing in the New Year. For better or for worse, Toulousans will discover new buildings and new travel opportunities. Here are 5 new things coming to Toulouse in 2025.
1. The launch of the Toulouse-Barcelona line: one of the most eagerly awaited new features of 2025!
Get ready to travel! Starting in spring 2025, the Toulouse-Barcelona line will set travelers’ hearts racing. In just 3.5 hours, you’ll travel from the Place du Capitole to the Ramblas, comfortably seated in a Renfe AVE train. This seasonal service, with stops in Carcassonne and Perpignan, promises to revolutionize our escapades to Spain. So, ready to say “adiós” to traffic jams and “hola” to tapas?
2. Work continues on the future Toulouse metro line C
Line C of the Toulouse metro continues to take shape beneath our feet. This titanic construction site, a veritable underground anthill, promises to transform our daily commutes. With 21 stations spread over 27 km, this new green line will link Colomiers to Labège, passing through the heart of Toulouse. The Matabiau-Gare station, a real mobility hub, will offer a new wave of urban mobility! Be patient, the future line C of the Toulouse metro is scheduled to open in 2028…
3. Look up to see the beginnings of Tour Occitanie
The Tour Occitanie project is finally taking off! After years of heated debate, this 150-metre-high giant of glass and steel is set to reshape Toulouse’s skyline. Offices, shops, housing and even a panoramic restaurant: this skyscraper promises to be much more than just a tower. Whether you’re a fan of bold architecture or nostalgic for the Toulouse of yesteryear, get ready, because work is due to start in 2025 and the Tour Occitanie is scheduled for completion in 2029!
4. Towards a reorganized rental park in the Arnaud-Bernard district
A breeze of renewal is blowing through the Arnaud-Bernard district! From November 3, 2025, the “rental permit“ will be introduced to combat insalubrity. From now on, landlords will have to get the green light before letting out their property. Far from being a simple paint job, this measure is designed to provide Toulousans with housing worthy of the name. A giant step forward for the comfort of tenants and the quality of life in this emblematic district!
5. Among the cultural innovations that will change Toulouse’s suburbs in 2025: the opening of the Interference venue.
Attention music and entertainment lovers! The Interference venue is about to make its grand entrance onto the Toulouse cultural scene. Located in Balma, this modular venue can accommodate up to 2,500 spectators. Concerts, one-man shows, events of all kinds: get ready to experience unforgettable moments in this new space dedicated to live entertainment. 2025 promises to be an electrifying year for Toulouse nightlife!
