Meeting the French
by barryg23
One sure way to test your language skills is to chat with a native. Susan had travelled to Toulouse on an exchange trip many years previously, so one evening we met up with her pen-pal Claire, and Claire's boyfriend, at a cafe in the centre of town.
Salle Henri Martin du Capitole
by Klod5
Dans la salle Henri Martin, l'artiste a réalisé des peintures représentant les quatre saisons (probablement dans la vallée du Vert, dans le Lot, près de Labastide-du-Vert) et les bords de Garonne, animés de nombreux personnages, parmi lesquels il est difficile de ne pas reconnaître Jean Jaurès, dans son imperméable mastic (entouré de Jean-Paul Laurens, des sculpteurs Bellery-Desfontaines et Jean Rivière, Bonis, Bedènes...).

L'Occitania
by Klod5 about Boat restoring on the Canal du Midi and Garonne
It is in July 1990, after 4 months and 6000 working hours, that the maritime yards of Sees, in the department of Orne, put me to the world.
Measuring 30 - meter long and 5 - meter 40 large, I weigh about 150 tons.
With regard to the rest of my measurements, I have a draught (left immersed) of 1 meter 20 and a strap of air (left out of water) of 3 meters 50.
I possess a capacity of maximal welcome of 90 passengers, including the crew composed of 6 people.
It is on the Channel of the South of France that you will be able to see me all year round sailing with the current. It also happens to me, according to the imperatives meteorological and other prefectorial authorizations, to sail on the Garonne.

Market at Toulouse
by Emmjai
A visit to the local market is always a good visit in any French town, Toulouse was no exception.
You get to find out about the local produce, usually at good prices, and you also get to meet local people.
