Toulouse - France

The Headquarters of the airplane manufacturer Airbus is located in Toulouse. I had gone to Toulouse to attend a training hosted by Airbus. Toulouse has a very relaxed city and there is a friendly feel to it. There are plenty of things to see and do in the city, known as the 'Ville Rose' (Pink City) for the colour of the terracotta bricks used in many of its buildings, Toulouse easily blends the old with the new. The charming Old Quarter is lined with buildings in all shades of pink whilst just outside the city center, which is ringed by wide boulevards, the finest aeronautical engineering is on display at the home of Airbus.
