History of Toulouse - Renaissance: 18th
It would be difficult to qualify the years which preceded the French revolution. Various artistic, religious, or architectural currents traversed the city during the 18th century.
Louis de Mondran was the instigator of a new town planning, probably inspired by his stay in the capital. The principal achievements of this period were the Grand Rond, the Cours Dillon, and the frontage of the Capitole.
In 1770, the Cardinal of Brienne inaugurated the first stone of the channel that was named after him. The channel that connects the Mediterranean Sea to the Atlantic Ocean, and the Canal du Midi to the Canal Lateral à la Garonne were finished six years later. The point of junction is known under the name of Ponts-Jumeaux.
The city grew more pecuniary, impoverishing the most stripped, and enriching the nobility and the clergy. The local architects and the sculptors became very busy, thanks to the numerous fortunate individuals. The Reynerie was the summer residence of the husband of the Comtesse du Barry (Barry Countess).
Toulouse did not forget its traditional religious enthusiasm, even if the end of the century marks a certain decline. New congregations began to appear --most famously the Blue Penitents-- officiating as the Saint-Jérome church. The local Parliament, infiltrated by the Aa group (see 17th), regulated the religious life, and condemned the Protestants.
The Calas affair began in this difficult context. With Parliament deciding the execution of Jean Calas, they demonstrated their newly acquired control of the city.
Worried for its autonomy, the Toulouse population supported the Parliament when threatened by the monarchy. The Capitouls (see 12th) were now chosen by the Parliament, and only 8 representatives were allowed. A revolution would become necessary for the town to escape from the Parliament lead.
