Slow Dance to Soft Rock

There are parts of Toulouse that have more of Spain vibe over all. 
On our last day in France we soaked up some culture with a walk along the canal leading to Les Abattoirs. Les Abattoirs is a modern art gallery in what used to be an abattoir and we managed to get in for a ridiculous 2 Euros each because it was so quiet. It was a scorcher of a day so we wandered down to the river after the gallery, lying in the sun next to a mini waterfall and all turning a lovely shade of pink. Or red if I'm honest.
We had to spend the rest of our afternoon hanging out in cafes, sampling coca lites all over the city and trying to cool down. After a quick pick up of macarons and chocolate for gifts, we headed back to the airport. Toulouse has one of the nicest airports I've ever seen, filled with modern art installations and so fresh, clean and airy. I've been in some horrid airports but Toulouse gets a big thumbs up from me.
I'd definitely recommend Toulouse for a short city break. It's small and quaint with enough to do if you look for it. There is an abundance of restaurants but if you're vegetarian, a more metropolitan city might be for you. The weather was lovely and I can strongly say I love the South of France.
