TOULOUSE – La Ville Rose
I love France! Till now I didn’t find any french city that I didn’t like. Each one has its own personality, cultural and style of life; all of them have the french “je ne se quoi” that makes me wants to visit them all over again! Toulouse, located in the Midi-Pyrénées region, is quite different…
