Toulouse

Toulouse, a city with an exceptional heritage, has some wonderful surprises for you. Private mansions from the golden age of woad (a plant grown in the 16th century for its blue pigment), religious building with bricks and stones decorations, rich collections in museums located in remarkable monuments and converted industrial sites: so many amazing places to see !

Let Toulouse reveal all its history and charm as you travel its streets and monuments.

On a map, you will find Toulouse located in the southwestern part of France. It lies on the banks of the Garonne river and is crossed by two man-made canals. While it boasts over 2,000 years of history, modern-day Toulouse is France's fourth largest city.

Toulouse is known as the "Pink City" due to the rose-colored bricks used in the construction of most of the city's buildings. It is also a cultural hub for ballet, classical music and opera, the performances of which are often held in the Theatre du Capitole. Its inhabitents are convinced rugby fans, supporting their home team, Stade Toulousain.

However, by far the most interesting fact about Toulouse is that it leads the aerospace industry in all of Europe. It is home to both the SPOT satellite and the CNES's Toulouse Space Center (CNES, or Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales, being the space agency of the French government). Last but not least, the main site of Airbus in Europe is also located in Toulouse.

If space technology sends your mind into orbit, simply enjoy a day of fun at Toulouse's most popular attraction: The Cite de l'Espace (the City of Space) just before enjoying the regional cuisine, one of the best in France.
