This image depicts an urban street scene in Toulouse, France, facing east towards the Mercure Toulouse Centre Compans Caffarelli hotel, located on Boulevard Lascrosses adjacent to the Canal de Brienne. The scene is illuminated by the low-angle sun of late afternoon or early evening, casting a warm glow on the right side of structures under a mostly clear blue sky with faint cirrus clouds. In the foreground, a cracked asphalt road with faded white crosswalk markings and a double solid white line adjacent to a dashed white line is visible. A dark grey two-door hatchback car, identifiable as a Peugeot 206 with a license plate partially visible as "DW", is present on the left side, angled away from the viewer, indicating movement. Parallel to the road, a concrete sidewalk is delineated by a series of black cylindrical bollards and a dark metal pedestrian barrier featuring X-shaped supports. One individual, dressed in a dark jacket and light trousers, stands stationary on the sidewalk near the barrier, holding a light-colored bag. Beyond the pedestrian barrier and a lower-level embankment, a dense line of leafless deciduous trees partially obscures several mid-rise buildings. The most prominent structure in the background is the tall Mercure Toulouse Centre Compans Caffarelli hotel, characterized by its white facade, distinctive vertical bands of orange-red recessed windows, and a grid of square balconies or windows on its right-facing side. The hotel's 'MERCURE' logo and a star emblem are visible near its roofline.
