Nestled in the middle of France's south west , Toulouse is a charming city with a central medieval church and cobblestone streets. If you plan on booking villas in France this summer, Toulouse is also an ideal spot to collect unique and vintage fashion pieces.

Teeming with art museums, cinemas and tiny fashion boutiques, the city is a mecca for young souls looking to escape from the crowds in Paris while still experiencing French culture. Rue Cujas is a small street in the middle of Toulouse and is the style capital of the city. Popular fashion labels and designer stores line the streets, including the relatively new Les Fees de la Creation, which carries one-of-a-kind creations by young designers.

If you're looking to find an antique treasure, don't miss the flea market at Place St. Sernin, where vendors set up shop at the crack of dawn. After having breakfast at one of the luxury rentals in Toulouse, you can stop at this church square to sift through treasure troves of amazing finds from gramophones to intricate brooches.
