Hôtel d'Astorg-Saint-Germain stands on one of the major arteries of Renaissance Toulouse, a road which was known in the Roman period as the Cardo maximus (north-south road) ans linked Saint-Sernin basilica, the Capitole and the parliament. Built in the late sixteenth century, the hôtel retains much of the old merchant house.Explanatory comments of Toulouse Renaissance exhibition (2018), Colin Debuiche.
