It’s now the headquarters of EADS (European Aeronautics Defense and Space), an international French-German-Spanish company incorporating the former Aérospatiale, which-among other things-builds Airbus planes and Eurocopter helicopters. The links with aeronautics began just after World War I, when France’s first international air mail service, Aéropostale, was established in the Toulouse area, and famed early pilots including Jean Mermoz and Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the author of Le Petit Prince, were based in the city. Today Toulouse is one of France’s fastest growing cities, and it’s the European capital of the aviation and space industries. But Toulouse is renowned for its pretty pink hue, and is commonly called La Ville Rose, in marked contrast to the industrial red brick of Manchester. Like Manchester, it’s a thriving university town, with some 100,000 student residents, and like Manchester it’s primarily built of brick. Toulouse, the capital of the Midi-Pyrénées region, is France’s fourth largest city and home to some 400,000 people. I had traveled only a little over 700 miles to my temporary new home, but I felt a million miles from Manchester. Wandering around the beautiful southwestern city during my first weeks there, I relished the cobbled squares packed with cafés and bars, the wide banks of the Garonne River, and the streets lined with wonderfully glamorous boutiques-the sort that students like me could only dream about.
