Right in the centre of south west France, Toulouse lies between the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. It’s often used as a stop over as part of a larger French adventure, but is in itself a fantastic place to spend some time. Lying on the banks of the River Garonne, the city’s metropolitan area is the fourth largest in France after Paris, Lyon and Marseille. Toulouse Blagnac Airport is the perfect gateway to these incredible cities.
Toulouse is characterised by its pink terracotta brick buildings, setting a beautiful scene for your relaxing holiday. If you’re an arts lover, the Theatre du Capitole is the home of exquisite ballet and opera. For the children, or the young at heart, Cite de L’Espace is a unique space themed amusement park complete with full scale models of rockets and a discovery of the history of space. For some chill out time in stunning surroundings, why not head to the Jardin Des Plantes botanical garden? A city of architecture, culture and spirituality, but with modern resolve, Toulouse offers a unique French experience.
Toulouse Blagnac International Airport is located just west of Toulouse City Centre, within very close proximity. Hoppa can take care of your Toulouse Blagnac Airport transfers to your accommodation of choice. Book with us today to save yourself time, money and stress.
