Toulouse: Money and Power and Provincial France

Synopsis: In the 16th century the University of Toulouse trained lawyers for the local parliament, the Royal Courts of Justice, while the merchants of Toulouse created one of the wealthiest cities in France by trading in just one commodity - woad. Merchants and lawyers used architecture as a means to display their wealth and intellectual standing. The programme examines the surviving buildings to trace this period of civic prosperity.

As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
