Toulouse

The most important town in southwest France, is the country's fourth largest metropolis, and a major industrial and university city. The area is also famous for its aerospace industry: Concorde, Airbus and the Ariane space rocket all originated here.

Best seen on foot, Toulouse offers excellent regional cuisine, two striking cathedrals, lively street life and a superb rose-brick Old Town which, as the French say, is "Pink at dawn, red at noon and mauve at dusk".
