What is it really like for holidays in the Haute-Garonne

Haute-Garonne is so dominated by Toulouse that the rest barely gets a mention

In fact one away from the flat low lying land you have the beginnings of the quiet limestone uplands to the north and the Pyrenean foothills to the south

Toulouse itself is a superb mixture of youthful vibrancy - history and high-tech industry

Toulouse is a much more informal city than Bordeaux - the main square - the place du Capitole - with the grand Hotel de Ville - looks mighty impressive but has a relaxed atmosphere along with the rest of the city - department - and region

Toulouse is the rose city because of the pink and red brick buildings -If you are around spend a day or two in Toulouse itself
