Yesterday, we headed off to Toulouse - France's 5th largest city for a day trip. At 2 hours drive each way and 15 Euros of tolls, it was an unusual choice for us, but the big city was calling and we loved it! Warm and sunny weather helped and we felt within a stone's throw of the Med (ok, so it would have been another hour but we could feel it). It's a very young city with 3 universities and 1 in 8 residents a student. There was loads of street life and the city just oozed cafe culture. Every turn would leave us in another wonderful square, with many of the buildings in the warm pinky stone the city is known for; I was also very impressed with all the ironwork on the buildings. Plus there were several wonderful playgrounds and parks - one had this terrific rust-iron dragon sculpture.
Seb and Mike took the metro and reported it was inexpensive and efficent. seb was impressed.
And we all LOVED eating "glace on the place".
