Dr. Cottille-Foley's 2007 Program Website

Study for 6 weeks in Toulouse, at once a picturesque and vibrant city named la ville rose for both its quality of life (la vie en rose) and its softly colored architecture, much of which dates back to the Middle Ages. Second university city in France directly after Paris, 4th city in France for its size, Toulouse is young, dynamic, student-oriented and safe. Home to Airbus, Toulouse is a European leader in aerospace industries, electronics, information technologies, microbiology, biotechnologies and cancer research. Toulouse is a Pole of Competitivity both for aerospace and cancer research (canceropole).
