Toulouse, a city in the southern French region of Occitanie, is known as La Ville Rose ("The Pink City") for its terra-cotta rooftops and red-brick churches. Hugging the banks of the Garonne river, Toulouse boasts three UNESCO World Heritage Sites, one of which is the Canal du Midi, a mighty man-made waterway that connects the Atlantic with the Mediterranean. With its collection of splendid museums, an envious culinary tradition, and renown as the largest space center in Europe, Toulouse is an attractive and compelling destination.
