Toulouse is also a major European center for aerospace, research, and innovation, and home to a dynamic academic community. The city combines a relaxed atmosphere with a strong intellectual and cultural life, making it an ideal setting for a conference.
It is ideally situated in the south-west of France, approximately two hours from the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Pyrenees mountains. European aerospace capital and home to more than 150 international companies.
The Place du Capitole is the beating heart of Toulouse and a symbol of its rich history and vibrant culture.
This iconic square is home to the majestic Capitole building, which houses the city hall and the Théâtre du Capitole.
Surrounded by elegant arcades and lively cafés, it’s a perfect spot to soak up the atmosphere of the “Pink City.
The UNESCO-listed Basilica of Saint-Sernin is one of the most important and magnificent churches on the “Chemin Saint Jacques” medieval pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.
Built in the 11th to 13th centuries, this impressive basilica ranks as the largest Romanesque church in Europe still in existence.
They are the scenic riverfront promenades along the Garonne River in Toulouse. They offer views of historic buildings and bridges, including the iconic Pont Neuf.
Lined with cafes and green spaces, the quais are a popular spot for locals and visitors to enjoy the city’s lively riverside atmosphere, and to watch the sunset.
