Tours run roughly \u20ac20 to \u20ac40 depending on which one, they must be booked weeks ahead, photo ID is required, and children under six are not admitted.\r\nIs Toulouse cheap? | The best value of any major French city. Dorms \u20ac18 to \u20ac32, beer \u20ac4 to \u20ac6, a glass of wine about \u20ac4, and a day around \u20ac40 to \u20ac75. A hundred and thirty thousand students are why.\r\nWhat should I eat? | Cassoulet \u2014 white beans, sausage and duck confit baked slowly \u2014 at \u20ac16 to \u20ac24, and treat it as lunch because it is extremely heavy. The first-floor restaurants above March\u00e9 Victor Hugo serve the best-value good meal in the city at \u20ac15 to \u20ac22.\r\nIs Carcassonne worth the trip? | Yes, an hour by train for about \u20ac18. It is a double-walled medieval citadel, heavily restored in the nineteenth century, and it is unlike anything else in France. Go early or late \u2014 the middle of the day in summer is unpleasant.\r\nWhen should I avoid? | July and August. It is regularly above 35\u00b0C, the brick holds the heat into the night, and the students are gone along with a lot of the cheap places that make the city good.\r\nWhat is there beyond the university? | Aerospace, mostly \u2014 Airbus assembles the A320 and A350 here and Cit\u00e9 de l'Espace is on the edge of town.
