The Chalets district is said to take its name from the chalets and wooden houses rented by the soldiers and artillerymen of the Compans barracks, in order to shelter their clandestine love affairs. At the end of the Belle Époque, beautiful residences were built there, in beautiful stone. The most beautiful is undoubtedly the Château des Verrières, owned by the glass painter and manufacturer Louis-Victor Gesta, a vestige of one of the most important stained glass manufacturers of the 19th century. This castle is definitely worth a visit, it is little known to the people of Toulouse and tourists.
