About Toulouse, France

Toulouse is positioned near the Spanish border and bisected by the Garonne River. Many of Toulouse’s buildings are constructed using terra-cotta bricks, so the city is frequently referred to as La Ville Rose or “The Pink City.” The metro population here exceeds 1,291,500 people, with a square mileage of 2077.8. Biotechnology, information technology, electronics, space, and aeronautics are the main industries in Toulouse.

Popular Destinations in Toulouse

Looking for activities once your private jet arrives in Toulouse? Both business and pleasure travelers have a healthy choice of attractions to pick from, including:

Cite de l’Espace: On the city’s eastern outskirts lies The Cite de l’espace, one of the most amazing space museums ever built. A huge cinema immerses participants into their very own space mission. Visitors can test their endurance as astronauts in the rotating space pods; they can simulate running on the moon, or simply gaze into space in the observatory and planetarium. There is even a 52m high space rocket (the Ariane 5) and a full-scale replica of the Mars Space Rover.

Jardin des Plantes

Jardin des Plantes

Jardin des Plantes: For a little peace and quiet accompanied by nature’s beauty, consider taking a breather in this 200-year-old collection of sculpted gardens spanning about 7 square acres.

Les Abattoirs: This cutting-edge art gallery boasts works by Robert Mapplethorpe, Robert Rauschenberg, and Marcel Duchamp. The prize piece remains a massive work entitled La Depouille du Minotaure en Costume d’Arlequin by Picasso. So fragile is the condition of this piece that it is only displayed six months out of the year.

Place du Capitole

Place du Capitole

Place du Capitole: Whether for an early evening snack at a street café, or a sip of coffee on an early sunny morning, Place du Capitole offers great history in the center of Toulouse. On the eastern side is City Hall, with its 128m long façade, which dates back to the 1750s. Inside the Place du Capitole visitors will find the Hall of Illustrations (Salle des Illustres) and the Theatre du Capitole, which is the most prestigious opera venue in all of France.

Eglise Notre-Dame de la Dalbade: A walking tour of the area will undoubtedly include a stop at this Catholic Church. The brightly colored tympanum is one of the many reasons to visit L’Eglise Notre-Dame de la Dalbade. Constructed in Italian Renaissance-style ceramics, the crowning of the Virgin Mary is depicted above the entrance in the building’s semicircular recess.

Château d’Eau: Once upon a time, this brick tower from the 19th century actually pumped out fresh water. Since the 1970s, however, the Chateau d’Eau has mainly operated as a photography venue. These days it displays contemporary nature images that are both simple and aesthetically pleasing for tourists.

Canal du Midi: This 241km walkway is nothing short of an engineering wonder. Under the direciton of Louis XIV, Canal du Midi was constructed to be a connection between the Atlantic and Mediterranean Seas. The area has walking paths and biking trails stretching 40km.

Basilique St-Sernin: Right to the very top of the octagonal bell tower, this Romanesque edifice is made of rose and golden colored stonework. The structure is so well preserved that visitors can not only look at the impressive marble statues, but they can also go inside and see them up close.
