Crowne Plaza Hotel Toulouse

... family were 'ok' and some french were 'quite' friendly, but overall my advice to any foreign person visiting france, DONT EXPECT THE FRENCH TO BEND OVER BACKWARDS(OR BEND OVER AT ALL) to accomodate a lack of language on your part. Dont get me wrong ayms cousins and aunts were the exception, but generally people in france are too busy in there own self obssessed seriousness to bother about anything else. <br><br>I went to 'conquer' the stereotype of France, and try bring out a ...

... had the good luck to stay with a friend of Clement from Tours. His friend, Tiphaine picked me up at the train station. She was 21 and studying engineering at the University in Grenoble. She grew up with Clement in their town and they went to highschool together. When I arrived in my spring dress after enjoying warm weather in Lyon I found that the city of Grenoble situated in a valley surrounded by mountains was not so warm. I followed behind Tiphaine as she walked ...

Visiter quelques musées gratuit, (à cause du festival ''printemps à Toulouse'') c'est toujours rentable !<br><br>Nous avons fait le musée des augustins. Il y a plein de statues et de vieilles pieces murales des églises de Toulouse.<br><br>Ensuite la Basilique St-Sernin, très jolie puisque son cloché est illuminé le soir.<br><br>Et finalement les Abattoirs, avec un tat d'art dont du ne comprend jamais vraiment la signification (l'art modern...).<br>

... was town after town with no countryside in between. No towns seemed to offer any campsites or accommodations (other than hotels). After about 90km I was done. We&#8217;d done so much yesterday I was starting to feel it. So tonight, our bed is in a ditch in the middle of a cloverleaf joining several roads together. Perhaps I have more in common with the people in Tolouse than I thought.

... great day like this for awhile and 120 was the secret number I had in my head. We hit it exactly! Brian&#8217;s bike computer measures every 10m, so that was pretty incredible!<br><br>This is the superhighway of canals. Charging straight as an arrow, cutting France in 2. This route is called the Velo-route de Deux Mers - we will take it all the way to the Mediterranean Sea. <br><br>This canal is straight and flat and ...

... it's closed weekends in the summer. They definitely like their 80's music here in Andorra - many restaurants pipe it out on to their terraces. I returned to the pension to pick up my backpack, and headed over to the bus station to buy my ticket. I could probably buy the ticket just before boarding, but didn't want to risk having the tickets sell out, and getting stuck in Andorra another day. <br><br>I grabbed lunch before ...

After another early morning rise to catch the 7am flight to Toulouse, we were greeted at the airport by Michel and his lovely son Melvin. We spent two days in Toulouse with Michel and Myriam, (Thank you for your hospitality) who have a beautiful house right near Place Du Capitole (A square surrounded with lovely French restaurants). Soren kept remembering the places he visited as a ...

Qdo se abre a unica porta, vc tem que passar de lado pra chegar no salao-cozinha-sala, senao esbarra nos cabides que ela ...

... and I wondered where he was since A few minutes later, we finally caught up my brother who was shocked to see us. In Toulouse, lets just say Marcella and I chilled. My brother was very generous and hospitable in giving us not only some Francs but letting us raid his bathroom.
