Toulouse, my beloved city. I’ve been living in Toulouse for 18 years up top now. I moved in this city due to my studies when I was 20. It’s not located in the same region as where I grew up, so it was quite a change in my life. My first apartment, my first job, my first life on my own. To me, Toulouse has been a playground that is now full of my memories. Toulouse is an old city, it is around twenty-two centuries old. Its location at the same distance from the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, and the fact that it is traversed by a river and two canals have made it a very convenient place for trade. Due to those reasons, it has always been a wealthy city never lacking of resources. Strolling in Toulouse makes you travel in time. You can see a lot of different styles of architecture added over time. But the use of raw bricks as main material cannot be unnoticed. Bricks particularity is that it change color over time, from orange when it’s new, to pinkish as it gets older. That’s why Toulouse is also known as “the pink city”. Nowadays, Toulouse is also well known for being specialized in the aeronautics and space industry. It represents tenth of thousands of employments, maybe more. That is why it’s a very attractive city for students and workers. Toulouse count no less than five hundred thousand people and more than one million in the metropolitan area. Hence it’s a dynamic city, there’s a lot of things to do and a lot of places to party. In my childhood, I used to move a lot because of my dad’s job. So staying in the same place for so long seems unnatural to me. Sometimes, I do feel the rush to leave and discover other cities and places. But I don’t know why, Toulouse always managed to make me stay. It’s definitely an enjoyable place to live in. If you never visited Toulouse, well, think about it. Thank you in advance for your corrections and advices.

Toulouse, my beloved city.

It is located equidistant between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, and the fact that it is traversed by a river and two canals has made it a very convenient place for trade.

Strolling in Toulouse, you travel back in time. You can see a lot of different styles of architecture added over time. But the use of raw bricks as the primary building material cannot be ignored.
