The location of Midi-Pyrenees within mainland France

Midi-Pyrenees is the largest of mainland France’s provinces. Traditionally it is seen as a rural province but large numbers of people have moved away to towns and cities. The capital city Toulouse is home to Airbus, one of the worlds biggest aeroplane manufacturers. Alongside this, there is an up and coming technology sector in the province.
