Toulouse, France’s fourth-largest metropolis and the capital of the Occitanie region, is a historic and cultural hub known for its pink-brick architecture, relaxed southern atmosphere, and vibrant cultural life.
Toulouse is old, Toulouse is new – and so varied: from the warm terracotta façades of the Capitole, the Basilica of Saint-Sernin and the Jacobins convent to contemporary districts shaped by research, industry and innovation. With around 2,000 years of history, the city combines remarkable heritage with a dynamic modern identity.
Nicknamed La Ville rose, Toulouse combines heritage and art of living. Charming alleys, lively terraces, markets, museums and the banks of the Garonne give the city a welcoming 'village atmosphere' despite its metropolitan scale.
The city is also closely linked to aeronautics and space. Airbus, Cité de l’espace, Aeroscopia and other scienceand industry-related attractions reflect Toulouse’s longstanding role in innovation, research and international exchange.
Situated in the heart of south-west France, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, Toulouse offers easy access to the wider Occitanie region while providing abundant sightseeing opportunities within the city itself.
