About this school trip

Toulouse is the destination for a study trip on aerospace and engineering. The city presents itself as the capital of aerospace and is closely linked to Airbus. At the Cité de l'espace, your students explore the solar system, the universe and the world of satellites and space missions. In the Carré de l'Actu, set up as a mission control centre, they also follow daily life on board the International Space Station.

For the aviation side of the story there is the Aeroscopia museum in Blagnac, right next to the Airbus factories. Its aircraft include a Concorde, a Caravelle, a Super Guppy and an A300B, with the first A320 prototype and the A380 MSN002 outside. Students see how engineering, research and industry come together in a single region. The old centre of the 'ville rose' is also well worth a visit.

We are happy to provide transport for you and your students to Toulouse. Because of the long distance, we plan an overnight stay along the way on both the outward and return journeys, so that the driver's driving and rest times are respected. Our comfortable coach takes your group safely to the south of France and back.
