Toulouse :La ville rose
Toulouse is a vibrant city in Occitane , a region in the south of France
The Garone river flows through the city , and young people gather there on warm afternoons to enjoy the sunset when the weather allows them , which happens very often since the city is quite close to Spain and shares its sunny skies
Close to 1 million people live in the metropolitan area ,but you will not feel like in a stressing city, large green areas can be found not far from downtown
In a country like France , known for its high live quality standards , Tolosa is considered to be one of the best cities to live
Many people from other areas in France are moving south here and it's population has been increasing steadily in the last decades to become the 3rd most populated city
This city is proud of its industrial past , was very important in the early times of the airplanes at the beginning of XX century , today is one the main bases for AIRBUS company
Like in most of french cities , cycling is very popular
It has been historically a city with a strong left-political influence , Jean Jaurès , a French Socialist leader on the early XX century spent in Toulouse some of his most productive years
Also , the city received many of the spanish republicans who had to leave the country in 1939
As an University city , and under a strong Spanish influence, its night life can be quite interesting
Plenty reasons for give Toulouse a try!!!
Toulouse, la ville rose (the pink city). The name is coming from the color of the bricks of the old buildings, downtown.
