Evening all..!

We're staying very near to Toulouse mid/late August, and thought this might be a decent place to visit with my two boys (and dragging the Mrs along too.. :tantrum: )

I've read that you can have option of three different types of tour, but it's not so clear on here whether the 'stages' are the different tours/aircraft - http://www.manatour.fr/en/aeronautical-discovery/lets-visit-airbus-discovery-tour

Anyone been ? :)

My only visit was in 98 to see England get beat in the world cup. Nice town, nice, people, nice little ground, nice river, crap result.

Visited Toulouse back in 2008 and ate the best meal I've ever eaten at this place here ; https://www.restaurant-emile.com/en/chez-emile-toulouse/
Had the house signature dish ; Cassoulet au confit de canard de Francis - stewed white beans with porc sausage and preserved leg of duck, 24€
The restaurant sits on a corner of the buzzy Place Saint Georges - a really nice part of the city.

I have been to the Embraer factory in Brazil. Looks a similar deal. How I read it is you see 3 different parts but mainly the final assembly hall and finish off going on the A400 (their version of the C130 Hercules). Seems good value.

Definitely worth doing, you should also get the chance to look on board a prototype Concorde that is there too.

Reads to me like you do all three stages?

I went a few years ago and stages 1 and 2 Plus a visit to Concorde were included. Third stage is a more recent addition.

Check the online reviews. I looked at this last as a present for my son but there were quite a few comments about how the factory part didn’t have any activity going on so you just saw a bunch of parts waiting to be fitted
