In France, Toulouse your Host City
| Toulouse and the Midi-Pyrénées region are steeped in both history and today’s world. In this region, tradition and modernity meet, from the Cathars and the way of St. James to technical innovations and the space and aeronautic epic of the 21st century. Art and technology, beauty and efficiency mix harmoniously in Toulouse, and meeting here for a congress is a true pleasure for the participants. Midway between the Atlantic coast and the shores of the Mediterranean, and at the foot of the Pyrenees, Toulouse occupies a privileged situation in South-western France. http://www.toulouse-visit.com |
