Toulouse

Big city with old centre.
Very helpful personnel helping travellers on train & metro.
Pauline & Mark, Jeff & Elaine, & Irene meet us at Hotel Alizé.
Hotel just outside centre was small, basic, clean with a good breakfast.
Excellent meal in Argentinian restaurant ......lamb ribs, dulce de leche dessert.
Walked 11kms looking at the old town including the St. Sernin Basilica that has welcomed pilgrims on the camino since the 12th century.
Violets, university, huge Garrone River.
Train station enormous but easy to use and efficient.
No vineyards visible from train until we near Carcassone....mostly sunflowers all dried up.
