Car Park in Toulouse
Located in the south of France, it is the 4th most populated city in the country. Nicknamed the pink city because it is the predominant colour of the old brick buildings. It is remarkable for the age of its foundations dating from 120 BC.
Toulouse, also known as "the pink city", is the 4th largest French city in terms of inhabitants. In the past, it was the capital of various kingdoms that succeeded each other such as the Visigoths or Aquitaine. Today it is the capital of the new region of Occitania.
Toulouse is one of the most active and interesting French cities to visit. It is designated as the most dynamic city in France due in large part to the fact that Toulouse is the European capital of the aerospace industry and home to Airbus Commercial Aircraft and the Airbus parent company. It is also a young city with more than 100,000 students.
Finally, the pink city is a stronghold of rugby, its emblematic sport. Its club, the Stade Toulousain, is the most successful in France with 21 national championship titles but also in Europe with 5 European championship titles.
