Accommodation :
Eurochorus does not provide accommodation for students. However, all types of accommodation close to the rehearsal venue are available in Toulouse (hotels, bed and breakfasts, booking.com, airbnb, etc.) depending on the preferences of each trainee. It may be worth looking for accommodation close to metro line A.
Catering :
The Goethe Institut does not have a restaurant.
However, its location in the old centre of Toulouse means that there are many restaurants of all kinds nearby, and the banks of the Garonne are very pleasant for picnics (Promenade Henri-Martin and Place de la Daurade) !
We are looking into the possibility of having a few meals together during the course, at a cost of around €15-20 per meal (price to be confirmed). Meal reservations must be requested when you register.
Getting to Toulouse by public transport :
By train : arrival at Gare Matabiau
By plane : Toulouse-Blagnac airport, airport shuttle with stop at Gare Matabiau.
Please note : the T1 tram no longer serves the airport; a No. 31 bus from the airport runs to the T1 Guyenne-Berry stop (work underway on the new metro line).
