Toulouse trip planner

On the Garonne River, Toulouse is on the site of an ancient Roman settlement, and even today, many of the smaller streets follow their Roman counterparts, while many of the red brick buildings are built in a pseudo-Roman style. These buildings are also what gives Toulouse its nickname La Ville Rose, or the Pink City. Toulouse has become a center of aviation and spaceflight in the past 20 years, yet the city has remained relatively unchanged despite the economic boom. Driving is difficult and parking is limited in the downtown area; despite this being a big city, the historical center in downtown is quite small, so you can walk to most attractions in the district and go sightseeing on foot quite comfortably.
