	Toulouse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Toulouse (pronounced /tuluz/ in standard French, /tuˈluzə/ in local Toulouse accent) (Occitan: Tolosa, pronounced /tuˈluzɐ/) is a city in southwest France on the banks of the Garonne River, half-way between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.
		The Occitan cross, flag of Languedoc and symbol of the counts of Toulouse, was chosen as the new flag of the city, instead of the traditional coat of arms of Toulouse (which included the fleurs-de-lis of the French monarchy).
		Toulouse is thus recovering step by step its former rank as a major European metropolis, but it faces increasing challenges: how to accommodate such a rapid growth, how to upgrade transport and develop housing and infrastructures, in short how to reinvent the city in the 21st century.
