At the heart of the Haute-Garonne region, Toulouse is a dynamic city with a pleasant geographic location. The Ville Rose is considered France’s 4th largest city and comprises seventeen old and new districts. Between the historic urbanized suburbs of the city center and village-like areas, Toulouse is a great place to live. The conurbation is bursting with theaters, cinemas and museums, where culture, art and leisure are top priorities.

Just a stone’s throw from the city, you’ll find a host of pleasant walks: along the Canal du Midi, the Tarn, the Montagne Noire, the banks of the Ariège, castles, lakes and ponds… Occitanie’s gentle way of life is based on the richness of its gastronomy. After all, the region is the birthplace of Roquefort cheese, and that’s no mean feat! Quality products abound: fish and shellfish, fruit, cheeses, cured meats, the famous Gascon hen, the famous black pig from Bigorre, the iconic foie gras from the Gers, the comforting cassoulet from Toulouse… Occitanie is Europe’s leading region with around 300 products under labels (Label rouge, AOP or IGP, Organic Farming). A stroll through the traditional markets is an authentic gourmet experience.
