Description: Created by the
city authorities as an educational tourist attraction. A significant
part of Toulouse’s industry is based around Space Technology – the Cité
de L’Espace provides a showcase for it. Here you will find some
excellent interactive exhibitions and shows, with guided tours and
lectures available. It’s not particularly cheap (Up to €62 for a family of four at the time of writing) but we consider
it good value all the same.
Our recommendations: If
you want an action packed day, combine your visit to the space museum
with a visit to the
Airbus factory, Europe’s largest aircraft factory on a grand scale.
The guided tours take about 1 ½ hours and must be booked in advance.
For the children: Not really for young children although they can
still enjoy a day here.
