LBAT France - Toulouse, 2007

vibrant city named la ville rose for both its quality of life (la vie
en rose) and its softly colored architecture, much of which dates back
to the Middle Ages. Second university city in France directly after
Paris, 4th city in France for its size, Toulouse is young, dynamic,
student-oriented and safe. Home to Airbus, Toulouse is a European leader
in aerospace industries, electronics, information technologies, microbiology,
biotechnologies and cancer research. Toulouse is a Pole of Competitivity
both for aerospace and cancer research (canceropole).
