An Occitan capital whose modern shelf is thick with rugby players and whose studios supplied the Midi with sculptors and painters. Toulouse's distinctive professions are rugby players (registered simply as 'player'), sculptors, artists, and painters, with a steady seam of physicians and poets beneath — a profile unique to this corner of the Midi. Raymond IV led the First Crusade from here, and the city has produced roughly one ballad singer per decade since Claude Nougaro.
One face per century — the most globally famous figure born in Toulouse during each.
