It was fun doing the trek, but it's better (according to Mario) to be a tourist. Toulouse is one of three towns we've picked to spend our last 10 days in France, and it has not been a disappointment. The hotel is perfect – close to the train station and to the centre of town. Lots of things to see, and being Friday/Saturday the streets are packed. We've spent so much time in small villages it seems strange to be in a big city. This is a university town, and no surprise meeting so many young people on the streets, stores and restaurants. We're feeling our age around these youngsters. Toulouse is a great city to visit, with many cathedrals, churches, museums and old bridges. Like most European cities, religion has shaped Toulouse's history and culture. However, Toulouse is shaping to be a major tourist destination. It is updating its city centre. The older building are well maintained and Toulouse is getting a make-over, with updated pedestrian walkways and high-end shops.
