Advantages: A place to share with friends. Disadvantages: None.
...the cheapest way of visiting this area. What is good about the area is that it is so near to so many attractions, although my week in Toulouse was barely enough time to discover all the history that the city had to offer.
What makes a holiday in this region is the proximity to the mountains making a day in the ambience of mountain air and scenery a real possibility and within easy reach.
Hotels are available at as little at £12 a night and I would anticipate that a person would need between £15-£20 a day to have a really good time and to be exceedingly well fed.
As for shops, I was amazed to see that there are the same big chains that you find in Paris, and that they are every bit as good.
This is a city to be explored, to be enjoyed, and the music and atmosphere that reminds me of the region still brings back that relaxed atmosphere of street...

...Toulouse is a wonderful City that is often missed by the traveller. It is used by many skiers during the winter as a transit point for the Pyrenees or Andora.
The city is a true contrast between ancient and modern. The ancient being the old town full of wonderful museums and quaint resturaunts. The modern being the new developments associated with the new industries moving into Toulouse mainly attracted by the presence of the Airbus Industrie facility.

Advantages: location location location Disadvantages: not cheap for drinks etc from the bar.

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. I booked using the www.ichotelsgroup.com website which is a very easy way of finding the best hotel anywhere in the world within the group (Holiday Inn, Intercontinental and Crowne Plaza). So I had read that the location for this hotel was on Place Capitole in the centre of the old town of Toulouse. What a result. We didn't hire a car because we just wanted to stay in the city centre and do the café / museum / cathedral / restaurant chill out weekend and from this hotel just a short walk to all the above was possible. One of Toulouse's best known...

My impressions of this game when I saw it advertised on the internet was that it looked like a completely different type of game that I'm used to seeing for the DS.

I lived in New York City for a few years, but had little experience of its hotels until after I'd moved away. My husband and I stayed in the Library Hotel in late August of 2004 for two nights. After spending a few nights in one of its sister hotels the... more
