OVERVIEW

Toulouse is a major city in south western France, with a historic centre, residential neighbourhoods and technology districts beside the Garonne River. Universities and aerospace industries shape its modern identity. The relationship between rose brick façades, river walks and aerospace culture in a large southern city with a youthful academic atmosphere and city gives the wider destination a distinctive structure beyond its principal visitor area.

Food, museums and public squares provide substantial variety, while canals and river paths add outdoor space. The city feels lively without the scale of the largest capitals. Spending time with both rose brick façades and river walks and aerospace culture in a large southern city with a youthful academic atmosphere reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known sights.
