Toulouse
« Paris is good for visiting, Lyon for having, Toulouse for learning and Bordeaux for depending » - Charles Cahier
With its ochre rooftops and brick churches, Toulouse, also known as La Ville Rose (The Pink City) has much to offer to its visitors. With its rich heritage dating back to roman origins the city contains many religious buildings made of brick and stone decorations, a rich collection of museums and remarkable monuments. For leisure, the city’s animated streets are the perfect occasion for shopping in the markets or enjoying restaurants where you can savour French and regional products for the tastes of each person.
