Toulouse
metropole
Rugby in the front row!
Rugby is far more than a simple leisure activity in the south-west of
France : it is nothing less than a philosophy of life. In Toulouse, the heart
of the city buzzes all year round to the thrill of major international
fixtures, local derbies and festivals of rugby. It is therefore a dream
location for immersing yourself in the world of rugby, in true French style!
On the cultural front, the Ville Rose (or ‘Pink City’) is known for its
remarkable pastel-hued architecture. The city has some exquisite
décor for visitors to enjoy, including 3 sites that have been listed by
UNESCO and some stunning Renaissance-era private mansions.
The atmosphere is festive and fun for foodies, with cassoulet
stew, foie gras, magret de canard (a duck recipe) and wines
from Occitania to make evenings in the city all the
more spellbinding.
