Before you travel to Toulouse by plane - good to know!

The red clay brick buildings of the Toulouse Old Town have given it the name The Red City, and this beautiful destination has lots of secret delights to offer explorers. For example, the rooftop terrace garden of the Galeries Lafeyette store can be the perfect location for gleaning a real bird's-eye view of the entire city and its surrounds. The Pont Neuf is the oldest bridge in the city, and eagle-eyed visitors will just about be able to spot a small statue of a child wearing a dunce's cap on the bridge, which represents the outsiders and stigmatised individuals in society.  Getting from the airport to downtown Toulouse is fast with the shuttle bus service which takes less than 20 minutes, but there is also a frequent tram service from the airport to the city centre.
