Hôtel d'Assézat, Renaissance mansion in city center, Toulouse, France
The Hotel d'Assézat displays three levels of classical orders on its facade, featuring Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns arranged vertically.
Pierre d'Assézat, a merchant who made his fortune from the woad trade, commissioned architect Nicolas Bachelier to build this residence in 1555.
The Bemberg Foundation, housed within the mansion, exhibits a collection of paintings and sculptures spanning from the 15th to the 20th century.
Visitors can access the interior courtyard without charge and observe the architectural details through informational panels placed around the space.
The mansion's tower rises as the highest among private residences in Toulouse, topped with a distinctive tempietto lantern structure.

Toulouse offers numerous locations for photography beyond its main attractions. The Renaissance courtyards of Hôtel d'Assézat, the gardens of Raymond VI, and the converted water tower of Château d'Eau present architectural interest. The Garonne riverbanks, including Quai de la Daurade and Port Saint-Sauveur, provide water views. Historic buildings like Hôtel Dieu Saint-Jacques and La Grave show the city's architectural heritage. Gardens and parks such as Grand Rond and Prairie des Filtres add natural elements to urban photographs.
