Toulouse & Carcassonne with your class
At the Cité de l’Espace, pupils walk through a real Mir station module, train in mission simulators and watch planetarium shows, while Aeroscopia and the Airbus production tour reveal how the world’s largest aircraft are assembled. Carcassonne’s 3-kilometre double ring of medieval walls and towers, visible from miles around, provides a completely different lens on European history.
A short flight brings the group to a warm, walkable southern city with plenty of student appeal. On the Move sequences visits across the stay so pupils move logically from the science of space to the engineering of flight to the history of the Midi.
