==History==
Toulouges probably grew upon a Roman villa. It was first mentioned in 904 at the same time mentioning the church called Tulogias. Other names that are presumably Toulouges are Tologis (in a 937 document), Tulujes (1027), Tuluges (1030), Toluges (1119).

Toulouges hosted an [[ecumenical council]] known as the Council of Elge-Toulouges in 1027. It aimed to promote peace among the feudal lords of [[Kingdom of France|France]] by declaring the [[Peace and Truce of God|Truce of God]],<ref>{{cite book |last1=Cushing |first1=Kathleen G. |title=Reform and the Papacy in the Eleventh Century: Spirituality and Social Change |date=Nov 29, 2005 |publisher=Manchester University Press |isbn=9780719058349 |page=[https://archive.org/details/reformpapacyinel00cush/page/48 48] |access-date=1 November 2019 |url=https://archive.org/details/reformpapacyinel00cush/page/48 }}</ref> attempting to limit the days of the week and times of year that the nobility could engage in violence.
