TOULOUSE
Why Toulouse?
Toulouse is actually known to locals as The Pink City (La Ville Rose) due to the type of pink stone used to construct many of its buildings. If you’re trying to avoid tourists, then Toulouse is the place to be as the proportion of tourists in Toulouse is less than Paris or Nice. Come visit this beautiful city, all too often overlooked but 100% worth a visit!
Highlights
"If you're unsure where to go out then ask people! My work colleagues gave me lots of useful tips, as did students currently living there.”

Transport
There are two metro lines, as well as two tram lines. You can use a combination of the tram and the metro to get from Toulouse Blagnac airport into the centre very easily. A single ticket costs €1,70. A ticket for 10 trips is €13,70. You can also get a monthly pass (carte pastel) for unlimited travel - useful if you need to commute to work or to get to uni. One ticket can be used for a journey including three changes in the same direction. It can be used for the tram, metro and the bus. Albi, Carcassonne, Montpellier, Bordeaux, the Pyrenees, Béziers: all easily accessible by train or bus.
There are also "Boris Bikes" or Vélo Toulouse bikes. There are bike stations all around the city and lots of people use them. 30 mins on the bike is free.
Toulouse also has Uber which is good for nights out.

"Hey, I’m Izzy! I graduated from the University of Bristol in July 2020 and spent my year abroad studying at Université La Sorbonne in Paris and then taught English to business professionals for six months in Madrid. I had the best time and learnt so much over the year. I’d love to help with any questions you might have about living in France and Spain, studying at a French uni or finding a work placement in Spain!"
