Place Wilson, Historic square in central Toulouse, France
Place Wilson is a circular square in Toulouse surrounded by arcaded buildings that frame a central garden with the Font de Goudouli fountain. The space contains shops, restaurants, cafes, and the Gaumont Wilson cinema integrated into the surrounding architecture.
The square developed between 1806 and 1834, transforming from a pasture outside city walls into a significant urban gathering place. This transformation established it as a central hub for Toulouse.
The square honors United States President Woodrow Wilson, who received honorary citizenship from Toulouse in 1918. This naming reflects a meaningful historical bond that remains part of the city's identity today.
The square is easily accessible via Jean Jaurès metro station, which connects to two metro lines serving the city. The arcaded buildings provide shelter from sun and rain, making it comfortable to walk around or spend time at the outdoor seating areas.
The Font de Goudouli fountain, dating to 1908, features a statue honoring Toulouse poet Pèire Godolin from the 17th century. This tribute recognizes his contribution to the city's literary heritage.
