01Moving
Living in Toulouse day to day
Toulouse settles easily: schools, university, jobs, an international airport and a cost of living gentler than in comparable cities. The pink city lives between the Garonne, the squares of the historic heart and the brick suburbs, under the South-West sky.
What newcomers discover: the city rewards whoever chooses their district, from Les Carmes to La Côte Pavée, and the house with garden stays affordable in metropolitan volume, which has vanished from most large French cities.

Commuting and landmarks
Toulouse connects to the world through Toulouse-Blagnac airport, France’s sixth, with more than eighty destinations including London, Munich, Madrid and the Gulf hubs. The station links Paris in a little over four hours, and the metro network covers most of the city.
Families aim at La Côte Pavée for the garden house, Les Chalets and Saint-Aubin for the town house and neighbourhood life, the historic heart for life on foot. The real local criterion is the actual school run, once again.
- 01 The historic heart
Carmes, Saint-Étienne: brick, the Garonne, everything on foot, the heritage town.
- 02 The suburbs
Les Chalets, Saint-Aubin: town houses, neighbourhood life, the Parisian newcomers’ charm.
- 03 The garden
La Côte Pavée and the slopes: the family house with garden, rare in a metropolis.
03Moving
Settling a family: the real calendar
A successful family relocation plays out over six months: school enrolment first, with its windows; housing next, because fine private mansions and well-exposed houses do not come in series; the house or the apartment finally, by the garden-versus-town arbitrage.
The Toulouse market is less seasonal than the coast, with two peaks, spring and the September university rentrée: the ideal calendar builds on it, search launched remotely in winter, targeted viewings in spring.

Frequently asked questions
Moving to Toulouse
Where to live in Toulouse with children?
Families aim at La Côte Pavée for the garden house, Les Chalets and Saint-Aubin for the town house and neighbourhood life, the historic heart for life on foot. The real criterion is the actual school run: it draws the district. The in-metropolis house is Toulouse’s strong point.
How long from Paris to Toulouse?
A little over four hours by train, and ninety minutes by air from Paris. Toulouse-Blagnac airport, France’s sixth, serves more than eighty destinations including London, Munich, Madrid and the Gulf hubs: the city is more international than its reputation.
Do I need a car to live in Toulouse?
In the historic heart, not day to day: the metro and walking cover most of it. As soon as you look at the suburbs, La Côte Pavée or the slopes, the car becomes again the tool of the school run and errands. The usage question precedes the district question.
When should I start my search to move for the school year?
Six months ahead: school enrolment has its windows and fine properties do not come in series. The market’s two peaks, spring and the September university rentrée, pace the availability: starting remotely in winter and visiting on target in spring is the calendar our finders hold most often.
