All that’s missing is you
A Knowledge Hub
Toulouse tests, experiments, develops, innovates… The Technopole is up there with the very best urban hubs in Europe and its local area is home to major economic projects and world-leading companies: Airbus, ATR, Thales, Actia, Evotec and even NXP. The global capital of the aeronautics industry, at the cutting edge of the Space and digital sectors, transports and mobility of tomorrow and technologies of the future, its unique ecosystem is particularly adept at inspiring the work of businesses, universities and research centres.
A Metropolis of Nature
Modern and cosmopolitan, Toulouse nevertheless remains on a human scale and can be easily explored on foot, by bike or aboard a boat along its waterways. The River Garonne is loved because of the exceptional setting it provides. Alongside the dome of La Grave, this is the most photographed spot in town. The parks provide space for nature and relaxation, as does the Canal du Midi that is a World Heritage site. Don’t forget to experience the emblematic Toulouse violet, cultivated for its colour and delicate fragrance.
Take Your Time
Stroll through the market or past the boutiques, linger on the terrace of a café and settle in at table. Whether at a Toulouse wine cellar, a local café, one of the ten Michelin star eateries or in the home of a local, the city can also be explored on a plate. Toulouse does all its shopping in the region and showcases the numerous high-quality local products. To name just a few specialities: foie gras, cassoulet, Toulouse sausage, cheese from the Pyrenees and wines from the South-West, to be found at market stalls or elevated restaurants.
Stay Safe, Avoid Scams
Events on the scale of the EAGE Annual inevitably attract fraudulent websites. We advise all exhibitors and attendees to stay vigilant when booking their travel and accommodation.
The official travel and accommodation partners for the EAGE Annual 2025 are the only ones authorized to use the EAGE logo and trademarks.
While other genuine travel and accommodation providers are available, there are also, unfortunately, fraudulent websites. Stay alert if you receive any offers for the week of the event or any confusing content. Fraudulent companies may repeatedly email event participants with bogus offers. Pay particular attention to websites and emails specifically mentioning EAGE. These websites will misappropriate official logos and trademarks to attempt to trick you into believing they are official or legitimate. Whilst their promotions may look attractive, once they have your money, you may find they then cease all contact and disappear.
How you can avoid fraud
Here are some handy things to check before booking:
- Don’t assume that use of EAGE name and logo on websites or emails means that a travel/accommodation provider is legitimate or authentic. EAGE only authorises its official providers to use the EAGE logo and EAGE trademarks.
- If you intend to use a company other than our travel and accommodation partners, then please ensure you undertake the requisite due diligence to ensure that they are a bona fide provider.
- Use credit cards to guarantee your bookings, rather than wire or bank transfers (unlike wire or bank transfers, credit cards offer some form of consumer protection).
- If you have booked through an alternative travel/accommodation provider please contact them directly.
