...A few years ago my mother-in-law bought a plot of land in the south of France with the intention of building a house to live in. That was the summer of 1998. That Christmas, my husband and I went to visit and we crammed as many wonderful places into our week holiday as possible. One place in particular was fascinating. This place was le city de l’espace, Toulouse. (Space City for anyone not up on the French lingo!) It was a relatively new attraction when we visited – less than a year since first opening. It was a huge place with outdoor and indoor attractions.
As it was the middle of winter (and even the south of France has a winter!) we decided to get the outdoor bit over and done with first as it was very cold and windy although the sky was clear and blue and the sun was shining. There was plenty to see and do...

...The crown Plaza hotel in the centre of the old town of Toulouse is a great place for a romantic weekend break. BMI fly in to Toulouse from Manchester so two hours after boarding the plane we had just a twenty minute (20 Euro) taxi drive from Toulouse Blagnac airport to get to the hotel.

One of Toulouse's best known...

...and postcards. On the Thursday, we went to the water park in the town, as our kids were all getting a tad restless!
It was great, and they enjoyed themselves so much we stayed from 1 pm to closing time-8! There were giant water slide, indoor pools for lengths, jacuzzi's, outdoor pools with bridges and fountains, and a babies slide, which was adorable and went through a small area of foliage!
We all really enjoyed ourself when we went to visit a local farmer, and he showed us around his land, which consisted of thousands of sunflowers, and he gave us tonnes of roasted and salted sunflowers!
I really recommend a holiday in Toulouse, it was lovely!...
