On This Page:Toulouse Travel Guide
The old capital of Languedoc and France's fourth-largest city, Toulouse (known as la ville en rose, or the city in pink) today is cosmopolitan in flavor. The major city of the southwest, it's the gateway to the Pyrenees mountain range. Toulouse might be a city with a distinguished historical past, but it is also a city of the future and the high-tech center of the aerospace industry in France. It is home to two huge aircraft makers—Airbus and Aérospatiale—and the National Center for Space Research has been headquartered here for more than 3 decades. The first regularly scheduled airline flights from France took off from the local airport in the 1920s. Today long-range passenger planes of the Airbus consortium, the most important rivals in the world to Boeing, are assembled in a gargantuan hangar in the suburb of Colombiers. In 1997, Toulouse launched an air and space museum. Also making the city tick is its extraordinarily high population of students: some 110,000 in all, out of a population of 800,000.
