| Summary: | In the diocese of Toulouse, the Protestants formed a minority of a thousand or more people at the beginning of the seventeenth century, divided up into four principal places. The city of Toulouse was a Catholic citadel, often considered as besieged by Protestantism. At that time, the Church, the parliament of Toulouse and the devout elite, acted jointly in order to eliminate any visible traces of Protestantism by humiliation or destruction of temples. As a result, the conversions of Protestants multiplied and in 1685, there was officially no longer any Protestants in the diocese. The goal of this communication is to study the methods of the Counter-Reformation in Toulouse and the practice of the conversion in a geographic space where Protestants form a minority on the defensive.
