Toulouse Travel Forum

Just booked for a long weekend in Tulouse for the H cup - Toulouse are at home to Cardiff Blues on Sunday 6th April. Everyone I know who's been has raved about the wonderful bars, atmosphere and people. I'd like to hear about the best things to see, eat, drink and enjoy in the city.

Thanks

Nick

see has plenty to the aerospace city near the airport AIRBUS to the wonderful museum of Raymond IV, to the cathedral, to the Capitol plaza:to the canal de l'ouecq: then bars has plenty too, my best is JGo at place victor Hugo.
indeed a nice friendly university town to visit.

Weather should be nice by then.

OK, the post game ritual is plenty of pastis (often the "51" brand). Just ask for "astis cinquante-et- un". You'll get a pitcher of water with it - make sure you use it.

After several "aperos" comes a good 3 course meal with wine. Local cuisine and wine are top rate. Try cassoulet - white beans with bits of pork, sausage etc. Winter dish, but April should be OK. Many others.

Try armagnac to finish (and help the digestion). Then off on the town for a few beers.

The city is rugby obsessed.

I'm jealous - keep trying to go back on a rugby expedition and take my son, but never find a weekend when I can go and they've got a home game.

I played for a 2nd division team in the city - not recently!

Thanks for the tips - I have now booked to go around the airbus fctory and have a couple of tips on places to eat and drink. Sorry I haven't replied earlier to thank you but my minds been on the six nations!

Iaint - looking forward to the pastis. A very civilised way to celebrate or as a pick me up after the final whistle. Just read that Le Stadium is a sell out so us Welshmen will be slightly outnumbered. Still looking forward to a great rugby weekend.
