Toulouse – La Ville Rose



Toulouse, 4th town of France and economic capital of southern France, is also the European centre of aeronautic and space industry. The headquarters of Airbus are located there. There are a lot of places that you can visit such as Garonne River which is on the site of an ancient Roman settlement; even today many of the smaller streets and the red brick buildings are from this Roman style. These buildings are also what give Toulouse its nickname La ville rose (The pink city).

In addition to the main places to visit, you can taste not only rich food and good wine but also enjoy the slow living that is what this city of southwest France is all about.
Toulouse has an important meaning in my life; as a result that I lived there for almost one year in order to learn French. I used to study in the Alliance Francaise a Toulouse which is one of the most well-known learning language schools around the world.
