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.⁠
⁠
Nos amis toulousains, what other mistakes should be avoided when visiting Toulouse❓️

BOO!👻 These cheeses look pretty scary, but they're just doing their thing in the cheese ageing caves of 🧀 Their surface is covered with a fluffy mold called "cat's fur" (poil de chat) 😻 that - while it might not be what you want to see on your food in the fridge - can be a desirable quality in certain cheeses like Saint Nectaire or Brin d'Amour. Just like some people like scary movies, we love "scary" cheeses!🤣 Happy Halloween!

Do you have a dessert that is emblematic of your childhood? For many native Toulousains, it's the "pomponette!"🥰 This fluffy brioche bun flavored with orange flower water and topped with crunchy sugar pearls is the individual-sized version of the southern French-style Gâteau de Rois that we celebrate Epiphany with in January.👑 We talked with one Toulousaine who took our Chocolate & Pastry Tour and she remembered her mother buying extra and freezing them so that she could enjoy a taste of home year-round.♥️ These days, we're lucky because you can pick up this treat any time of year at La Bonbonnière, 41 rue de Tourneurs.🥳

You know you're in an authentic Breton crêpe restaurant when you drink your cider from traditional mugs called "bolée."☕ One of our favorite crêperies in Toulouse is Pastel et Sarrasin - as the name indicates, it's the perfect blend of Breton and Toulousain cuisine and this galette (savory crepe) with jamon serrano, red pesto, and basil sorbet was absolutely delicious 😋 What sort of toppings do you crave on your crêpes or galettes ?🍳🥓🍫🍨

May the Roque-force be with you!✨💙 (Or not...) Did you know that most good cheese shops in France tend to carry several different types of Roquefort blue cheese? That way, you can choose how strong of a flavor you want!💪So, are you strong with the Roque-force or will you leave it to the cheese Jedis?😂

So excited to partner with Toulouse tourisme to show off our beautiful city (and its gastronomic wonders) to travel agents and tour operators from all over the world during the Rendez-vous en France travel trade show! This morning, I was pouring wine and offering up cheese and charcuterie at Marché Victor Hugo , Monday afternoon I'll be hidden away (with more wine and cheese) in the beautiful courtyard of the Musée du Vieux Toulouse . And then I'll be spending Tuesday and Wednesday at the MEETT conference center meeting with travel professionals. Whew! The life of an entrepreneur and culinary guide isn't easy, but at least there's food and wine!🍷🧀🥖
