Discover
all Toulouse has to Offer by Gen Wright
Toulouse, France is the Mecca
for many different big sectors. Toulouse is the leader in the aerospace
industry for all of Europe! It is also the headquarters for Airbus and
GPS. But if you think that's the only things they're known for, then you
badly mistaken. This is because it's also home to the SPOT satellite system
as well CNES's Toulouse Space Centre. This is actually the largest space
agency in all of Europe. But like I said before there's simply so much
to do! So in order to help everyone, this article is going to feature some
of the greatest and best activities that you can partake while adventuring
around Toulouse, France.
Sights:
One of the most interesting
parts of anyone's trip to Toulouse, France is of course the sights. Some
of these buildings have been there for hundreds of years. It's all ways
quite impressive to walk down the streets and marvel at some of these historic
land marks. I suggest visiting Jardin des Plantes which is one of the most
stunning and magnificent parks I have ever seen. You can tell that the
caretakers are doing a phenomenal job keeping this immaculate park up and
running
Nature:
If you're a nature lover,
then Canal du Midi is a must-see. This beautiful winding canal spans 240km
across Southern France's breathtaking countryside. Canal du Midi originated
as a shortcut for traders. It was originally supposed to be a shortcut
through the Atlantic between the Mediterranean. This was done in order
to stay away from Spanish waters and pirates which were both hostile. Well
thank the heavens that they constructed this canal. It is so beautiful,
and wonderful in every single imaginable way. What would be better than
spending the afternoon going down a winding canal studded with amazing
looking plant life. |

Sports:
If you're into sports, then
Toulouse, France will not disappoint. It is home to one of the better Rugby
teams as well. That's right, none other than Stade Toulousaine calls Toulouse,
France home. Well that's of course when they aren't playing in the finals
or even the Heineken Cup. Toulouse was also the home of the 2007 Rugby
World Cup.
Space:
Cite de l'espace - Cite
de l'espace is French for City of Space, which is just like the name sounds.
It is a theme park all centered on the conquest of space. More than 2 million
visitors have come here since being opened in 1997. They also have a number
of impressive exhibits. Such as their planetarium, that gives some unique
light shows that you won't forget for a good time to come. Cite dl l'espace
is also home to a stunning Imax screen in their newest planetarium. So
let me ask you a quick question, who in their right mind wouldn't like
to take their family on an educational vacation. Some of the interactive
exhibits are a gigantic hit with younger children, especially if they already
have a deep love of space. You can even go inside control room for Ariane
5. It's just a model of the original aircraft, but it's still impressive
just the same! |
