Hôtel du Vieux-Raisin
Hôtel du Vieux-Raisin, Renaissance private mansion in Toulouse, France
The Hôtel du Vieux-Raisin features ornate stone windows with detailed sculptures, including figures supporting the frames that display anatomical precision and expression.
Built in 1515 for law professor Beringuier Maynier, the mansion underwent modifications between 1547 and 1591 under owners Jean Burnet and Bishop Pierre de Lancrau.
Latin inscriptions throughout the building promote intellectual values, including the message above the front door stating that life exists through spirit.
Visitors can access the central courtyard during weekdays to observe the Renaissance architecture, though the interior spaces remain closed to the public.
The mansion contains a grand fireplace decorated with humanist motifs, displaying putti presenting the original owner's arms within a floral garland.

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.
