A weekly magazine, L'Express, publishes lists of various aspects of French life and its annual study of the best cities in which to live shows that Toulouse is fifth best place to find work. However the study measures other aspects, such as quality of life, access to culture, good schools and universities, transport links etc, and here la ville rose slumped to 30th place.
The large metropolises are judged best for employment but the smaller cities are better at offering a better quality of life. Thus Limoges was in third place and Albi fourth. Living as we do in a very rural area we often feel the lack of amenities such as transport and culture, but the quality of life in our small villages makes up for a lot.
