Budget carrier Ryanair will launch a direct flight between Manchester, France and Toulouse from the end of this month. The airline announced new services and ferries Britt to the south of France every Monday and Thursday between March and October. Plus, holiday makers can grab the rays of sunlight without breaking the bank.
Toulouse is often referred to as “Pink City” for its distinctive terracotta clay architecture and “Mini Paris”, and its up-and-coming food scene, booming nightlife and rich culture help to further increase popularity. Lonely Planet described it in the rankings as “a maze-like city filled with recycled industrial spaces, excellent food, scenic rivers and art galleries located in canal banks.
The travel guide also recommended that you don't know where Brit will be heading on his 2025 holiday. Check out the city's specialty dishes, including duck breasts and confits, Toulouse sausages, castles, cheese and sugared Toulouse violets.
“These delights can be enjoyed on food tours, or when you're in the heart of many restaurants, gingyut, lively terraces, or brand new halls,” Ranking said.
There is also a lot to be said about the nightlife scene when traveling. Some of the trendiest clubs in southern France are dotted around the Du Capitole.
You can get other glimpses of the city's history. In this centre is the Cathedral of St. Cernin and Pontneauf, a 17th-century stone bridge that offers a wide view of old Toulouse from across the Garonne River.
Holidays to French cities are easy to get to with travelers' wallets even after arrival, with a 3-day tourist pass for just £11.57 (13.80 euros) covering local transport and museum entrances, guided tours and boat trips at Garonne or Canal Dumidi.
“Toulouse's top rankings are testament to its dynamic cultural scene, innovative spirit and welcoming atmosphere,” added Lonely Planet.
