Toulouse Observatory reviews
-
The staff were really nice, they are very educated and open-minded, unlike typical French, they're more than willing to speak in foreign languages. It really was nice going there. Do suggest you to go there on Friday night at 9pm, as there is a free night tour for the Observatory.
