A prosperous metropolis in the Southwest of France, (Airbus and Aérospatiale are its most noteworthy industrial groups), Toulouse combines modernity with a rich history that has left permanent traces in the “Pink City”. The old quarter is marvellous with its mixture of churches, basilicas, medieval convents, Renaissance houses and museums.
If you add the unusual Cathedral of Saint-Etienne, the Canal du Midi, on the UNESCO Heritage List, you will not find it hard to admit that Toulouse is a simply splendid city.
