DIRECTION TOULOUSE-RÉGION OCCITANIE POUR L'ÉDITION PMF23

In the heart of the South-West of France, Toulouse is an urban area that boasts multiple attributes that seduce entrepreneurs and travellers alike. It combines a strong economic outlook, stunningly beautiful heritage, a rich culture, high-quality gastronomy… Knowledgeable and also vibrant, this is all thanks to a sun-kissed climate and a local temperament that is always inclined to celebrate and create joy. To ensure you don’t miss a thing, dare to explore the city we like to call the Ville Rose.

Ce qui vous attend ? L’aventure ! Celle de l’aviation, de l’Espace et des sciences, mais aussi la vôtre, avec d’inévitables coups de coeur. De l’École de Clément Ader à l’A380 et l’A350, Toulouse sait faire preuve d’audace et mérite le titre de capitale mondiale de l’aéronautique. Les visiteurs ont quant à eux l’occasion d’éveiller leur curiosité. L’Univers est exposé à la Cité de l’espace, les exploits des avions de légende sont à découvrir sur les chaînes d’assemblage d’Airbus, au musée Aeroscopia ou sur le nouveau site La Piste des géants. Enfin, les possibilités infinies de s’amuser avec les sciences sont au Muséum et au Quai des Savoirs.

Toulouse is the capital of the Occitanie region and its geographical location lends itself perfectly to escaping the urban environment in order to discover numerous exceptional sites, listed as « Grands Sites Occitanie » or « Most Beautiful Villages in France ». Montpellier, Albi, Carcassonne, but also the Pyrenees… the treasures of history and architecture, as well as the breathtaking natural scenery, are all yours.

 

As the second largest region in France, l’Occitanie lives to the rhythm of its territories and its two hubs: the metropolises of Toulouse and Montpellier. L’Occitanie hosts some of the well-known companies in the French economy, notably in the aeronautics and space sectors, but also in agriculture and viticulture. In September 2022, the European Union awarded the region the prize for the best organic region in Europe! Whether established or emerging, other strategic sectors are developing in Occitanie: health, digital, intelligent and sustainable mobility, green hydrogen, floating wind power or sustainable housing… Undeniably, as the leading French region for its level of R&D and for its rate of business creation, l’Occitanie has made innovation its trademark.

Praised by students for the performance of its network of university campuses, the region is also well appreciated for the excellence of its research establishments. With its exceptional natural environment, tourism is a major economic sector, under the banner of Occitality*. A land of diversity, hospitality and exchange, l’Occitanie is also a region open to the world, attached to the art of “living together”, to equality between peoples and cultures. All these reasons explain the strong growth of its population: 50,000 new inhabitants join l’Occitanie every year.

Welcome in Occitanie !
