guide to toulouse

location
You can pick up your holiday rental car at Toulouse-Blagnac International Airport, whose terminal houses several car hire pick-up counters.

history
Toulouse, one of France’s largest cities, is situated about 700 kilometres southwest of Paris and 250 kilometres southeast of Bordeaux, and considered the gateway to the Pyrenees Mountains. Merchants in Toulouse distinguished themselves in the 1600s by doing a brisk trade in woad, or blue dye. During World War I, Toulouse made its name manufacturing weaponry and aircraft. Around the time of World War II, the city became France’s aerospace epicentre. The Concorde and the Airbus were both built in Toulouse. Today, the city remains at the forefront of the aircraft industry, not just in France but around the world.

things to see
You can tour the massive Clément Ader factory, where the Airbus company’s intricate system of moving platforms creates what is essentially an assembly line for building some of the biggest passenger planes in the world. This is a very popular tour, so travellers should book a reservation at least a couple weeks in advance.

The largest and possibly most impressive Romanesque structure in France, Basilique St-Sernin is generally regarded as Toulouse’s most important monument. It houses a two-level crypt, as well as the tomb of the bishop St-Sernin, credited with bringing Christianity to Toulouse. Basilique St-Sernin’s eight-sided tower rises magnificently in a mix of Roman and Gothic architectural styles.

shopping
Shoppers in search of clothes and housewares should make a beeline for rue d'Alsace-Lorraine. If more upscale boutiques are your thing, rue Croix-Baragnon, rue des Arts, and rue St-Antoine du T are the streets to browse. If Toulouse’s signature violet-filled meadows catch your eye as you drive your hired car along the outskirts of town, you can find all manner of violet-related souvenirs at Violettes & Pastels, on rue St-Pantaléon, and Péniche Maison de la Violette, on Canal du Midi. Violet-scented perfume is a big seller, as are violet-printed scarves.
