About Toulouse

Toulouse, also known as ‘La Ville Rose’ (The Pink City), is a popular getaway destination in France’s Southwest region. Known for its iconic collection of pink brick architecture unlike any other city, Toulouse is full of historical landmarks boasting 2,000 years of history, culinary delights, and vibrant nightlife.

If you’re looking to escape the bustle of the city, strolling beside the Garonne River is one of the locals' favourite things to do during the summer. Lined with lavish 18th-century houses, you’ll be able to spot many landmarks from the river bank including the Pont Neuf Bridge and La Grave dome. Or if you prefer something to stimulate the brain, Toulouse is the hub of technology and aerospace, home to Airbus as well as Europe’s largest space centre.

You’ll be spoilt for choice with the array of delicacies on offer. Cassoulet is one of Toulouse’s most famous dishes - a hearty meal consisting of beans, pork meat, duck confit, and other elements depending on the chef. A local boulangerie is the perfect place to pick up some delicious bread to accompany a selection of regional cheeses and wine.
