In Toulouse, apéro is sacred. As the sun sets, locals and visitors gather to sip spritz cocktails and share plates loaded with burrata and oysters by the dozen. The preferred venue is a guinguette: a waterside, open–air establishment with roots in 17th–century France. Head to Racines — a recent iteration of the classic — to tchin–tchin through golden hour, along the banks of the Garonne River.
