A three day card was less than £12pp, and allowed us travel on metros, buses, and trains. We typically purchase travel cards for transportation during our city breaks, so we did this as soon as we landed in Toulouse. The EasyJet flight from Bristol was a mere 1 hour and 45 minutes, so hubby and I were happily enjoying our first croissant and glass of wine by lunchtime. Plan A was going camping in Wales, but with temperatures predicted to fall to 35F in the evenings, we opted for plan B Toulouse.
When I think of France, I tend to think more of Paris or Bordoueax, or somewhere along the French Riviera, but at less than £400 for flights and a hotel for three nights, we just couldn’t pass it up. To be honest, Toulouse wasn’t really on our radar when hubby and I booked a last minute trip for the early May bank holiday weekend. Scattered with terra-cotta brick buildings, and a bustling central square, this city is known for good wine, fantastic architecture, and for being the home of cassoulet! Known as La Ville Rose (The Pink City), Toulouse is located in southern France and is the capital of the Occitanie region.
