Next stop – Toulouse.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

After busy Paris Toulouse was a relief, smaller, quieter, medieval flair and very chilled atmosphere with a Harry Potter left alternative touch. Lots of small cafes and bookstores gather in the narrow streets, which is walk or cycable.<\/p>\n

It was really nice to spend three days there, I rented a bike and explored the Place de Capitol, the sideways and a bit of St. Cypries and the Expo Mr. Freeze – another streetartfestival during my Tour de France and the Halle de la machines.<\/p>\n

It was super super cool. Giant artworks in the peripherie of Toulouse, a former industry hall, converted to a urban art gallery from the guys from Expo Mr. Freeze. Very well curated and lots of different high quality works made you chaw dropping wandering through the place. Phantastic!<\/p>\n

Another brilliant experience was the Halle de la Machines – a chinese mechanic dragon and a minotaurus, about 10 meters high where the attraction of this curious dream machine museum. Steam punk at it’s best for old and young ones- also some of the toddlers where very afraid of the big monsters, which I could honestly understand. But it was georgeous and the people who work at this place are supernice and very funny.<\/p>\n

Toulouse i liked a lot because the atmosphere of the city is just so relaxed and you notice the liberal attitude of the people. Very creative as well – lots of little art shops or pop up stores a nice cinematheque, nice churches and arcades around the Capitol place.<\/p>\n

Sleep<\/p>\n

I stayed at a very convenient Airbnb – a bit further away from Toulouse but easily reachable by Tram T1 or T2 or by bus Nr. 66, place for 4 men and 4 women, 1 shared kitchen, bathroom and living room.<\/p>\n

Cost 25 Eur\/night<\/p>\n
