Just a word about the sunshine - Toulouse tops up about 2000 hours a year with a oceanic climate while the Mediterranean fringe Languedoc-Roussillon round to PACA total anything up to 2800 hours - the difference is really felt in winter. having studied in Aix-en-Provence and now living in the Aveyron (slightly more sunshine hours than Toulouse) I can assure you that the difference is quite marked at times!
BUT Toulouse is a really lively happening city and a great place to live
Bonne chance !
