Why Cité de l'Espace matters
Toulouse is France's space capital, and this attraction shows why. A full-scale rocket stands outside, and indoors you can explore replicas of space stations and planetariums. Great for families. Plan a half day at least, because the outdoor exhibits and indoor shows take real time.
Talking points
- A life-size rocket stands outside.
- Exhibits include space station replicas.
- There's a planetarium on site.
