Toulouse Maps: Orientation of the City - Toulouse, France, FR
Within the city environs, the River Garonne is a prominent local landmark and responsible for much of the city's layout and character, dividing Toulouse into distinct areas and districts. The historic Vieux Quarter stands on the eastern bank of the River Garonne, with the centre of this area sited to the south of the Place du Capitole and also the Place Wilson, the main public squares in Toulouse.

A map is not essential when exploring central Toulouse, with much of the city being clearly signposted and easy to navigate. The main bus station in Toulouse lies to the north-east of the Place Wilson, off the Allées Jean Jaurès. Also within this part of Toulouse is the city's train station, the Gare Matabiau, next to the Canal du Midi.
