Toulouse, business destination: organize your business trip

The pink city hosts numerous business trips every year. Notably because it hosts the head offices of two behemoths in the aeronautics sector (Airbus and ATR), but also because the capital of Occitania is a real hotbed of thriving businesses.

Business tourists who come for a seminar, a professional meeting or a conference are in luck: Toulouse knows how to welcome them. Both in terms of infrastructure, transport and gastronomy.

Organize congresses and seminars in Toulouse

Finding a meeting room with a capacity of 50, 100 or 500 people is not always an easy task!

Fortunately, there is choice in Toulouse:

• The Vanel spaces, on the top floor of the José Cabanis Media Library, can accommodate hundreds of people and offer a breathtaking view of the city.
• The Pierre Baudis Conference Center, with its 6,000 modular square meters, is perfect for conventions, congresses or business seminars.
• The Salon de Marvejol, in the heart of the Carmes district, accommodates up to 150 people and will be a real charming asset for your colleagues or guests (it is located in a private hotel).

Many hotels also have dedicated business spaces. This is particularly the case of the Radisson Blu Hotel in Blagnac.
From the Hôtel Albert 1^er, located in the city center.
But also the Initial, which offers many activities related to meetings.
You can also trust La Caravelle near Matabiau Station, the Villa du Taur (and its delicious restaurant Sixty-Two).

Business trip to the pink city: an ode to transport

As in all major French cities, many taxi companies and Uber drivers roam the streets of Toulouse day and night. And it's quite practical when you want to get to your destination quickly and without stress.

Simply download the UBER application to geolocate and order a car. Dedicated taxi bays are also located at strategic points in the city:

• Around Place Wilson (Jean Jaurès metro, lines A and B) ;
• Near Compans Caffarelli metro (line B) ;
• Facing Matabiau Station (line A) ;
• At Toulouse Blagnac airport.

For an ecological touch (and for those who want to limit expenses during their travels), you will be delighted to learn that Toulouse has an excellent public transport network.

First of all, the metro is divided into two lines, for the moment. A third metro line will be effective in 2024. In the meantime:

• Line A connects Balma-Gramont station to Arènes station (via the Marengo SNCF, Jean Jaurès, Capitole and Saint-Cyprien (fr) stations),
• Line B connects Borderouge station to Ramonville station (via Compans-Caffarelli, Jean Jaurès, les Carmes and Palais de Justice stations).

The tram also connects the Palais de Justice station to the town of Beauzelle ( which will also host the next Toulouse Exhibition Center). It of course goes through Toulouse-Blagnac airport.

Generally speaking, to manage all of your trips in the pink city (bus, metro, or tram), the Tisseo application will certainly be your best friend!

Finally, everywhere in Toulouse (and even if you go a little further away), you can find VélÔToulouse self-service bicycles. Recently, self-service scooters have also been placed here and there in the heart of the pink city: an ideal alternative to cycling for rainy days.

It’s certain, Toulouse and business definitely go well together.
