Description:

Toulouse is home to Europes largest aircraft and aeronautical centre and the guided tours let you get up close to the massive A380 and the impressive Concorde aircraft.  Tours last around 1 hour 30 minutes and sometimes are given in English. 

It is essential that you book ahead and have some photographic identification (passport).  You are not allowed to take photographic equipment onto the site.  It is a tour and not a theme park, so younger children may not enjoy it.
