Explore 200 years of history, tracing the evolution from military activities to its current transformation!
Immerse yourself in the fascinating history of the Cartoucherie and explore 200 years of evolution, from the construction of the Polygone under Napoleon’s rule to its transformation into an innovative eco-district.
Once dedicated to munitions manufacturing, these former workshops stand as a testament to Toulouse’s industrial heritage. In recent years, the site has been reimagined to meet the challenges of sustainable urban development and ecology, while preserving traces of its past.
Today, the Cartoucherie is a vibrant neighbourhood where housing, culture, and community spaces coexist.
At the heart of this transformation, the Halles de la Cartoucherie—a dynamic cultural hub – brings together gastronomy, performances, and local initiatives, making it a focal point of the district.
This guided tour will give you deeper insight into the history of the neighbourhood, its
evolution, and its ambitions for the future.
