LOCATION: TOULOUSE CITY
Toulouse: a subtle blend of humanity, history and modernity
From the Garonne to the Canal du Midi, and from Saint Sernin to the Cité de l'Espace, the many different faces of Toulouse invite visitors to come on a journey of discovery.
Besides a rugby playing temperament, the grace of the Canal du Midi and local cuisine - confit, foie gras and cassoulet served with excellent local wines such as Gaillac and Fronton, Toulouse offers its guests a rich heritage from medieval and renaissance times.
ACCESS
By plane: There are direct connections by air between the major European cities and Toulouse. Alternatively Air France offers connection in Paris through its hub in Charles de Gaulle airport, or a shuttle service from Orly airport. From Toulouse-Blagnac airport to the city centre, there is a shuttle bus operating every 20 minutes. The shuttle service stops just in front of the Centre de Congrès Pierre Baudis at the stop known as: Compans Caffarelli, or a taxi ride will take about 10 minutes.
By train : You can try-out the high speed train (TGV) from Paris Montparnasse station, but the journey will take more than 5 hours since the special tracks are available only for part of the trip.
Metro Station: Compans Caffarelli (Ligne B).
