Toulouse is known as the pink city as it is built with red brick and terracotta tiles. It is the fourth biggest town in France, has a big student population and is the home of Airbus.
The Capitol (i.e. Marie) in Toulouse
Viva la France
Inside the Capitol
The buildings were nice, but this is what we were really interested in - the food at the gastronomic Victor Hugo markets. (Note: everything in France is named after Victor Hugo or Charles de Gaulle). The cheeses were superb and so was the lunch in the restaurants upstairs where you could get a three course menu du jour for 17 euro. We liked it so much, we made the 60km drive to Toulouse for lunch twice while we were there!
