Toulouse Holidays Overview
Toulouse is located in the South West of France, and is one of the country’s liveliest cities. Toulouse is a centre for the high tech industry, notably aerospace, and combined with the student population, this gives a modern, prosperous edge to the city. Nightlife in Toulouse is lively and varied, with plenty of riverside bars, clubs, and live music venues.
Known as ‘la ville rose’ (the pink city) because of its rose coloured buildings, Touluose is rich in history, with winding medieval streets, cathedrals and churches. The two tranquil waterways that pass through the city are the River Garonne and the Canal du Midi.
