Cheap Flights To Toulouse

Cheap Flights To this vibrant French city depart from many major cities. Toulouse, the capital of the Occitanie region of France, is situated on the banks of the Garonne River. With striking medieval architecture, the city is often called "La Ville Rose" or "The Pink City" because of its abundant terracotta-coloured buildings. As well as a charming Old Quarter, you will find world-class museums, a stunning main square, and two UNESCO World Heritage Sites - the Canal du Midi and the Basilica of Saint-Sernin.

The city becomes more modern as you travel out from the centre, and it is in the outskirts that Airbus and other aerospace companies have made their home, making Toulouse a hub for the European Aerospace Industry. The Cite de l'espace, the largest space centre in Europe, is a popular attraction for many.

As it is close to the border with Spain, a Spanish influence is noticeable across the city. Therefore, you can sample good Spanish tapas here, as well as tasty local fare. Toulouse also hosts an annual lively Flamenco Festival.
