We spent two nights in Montpelier after our space explorations in Toulouse and before the disaster that was Marseilles.

The half way point of our trip was when we spent two nights in Toulouse with the kids. After our start in the south of France I was still on the hunt for good food and Toulouse seemed to be a city where I would find the French fare I was looking for. Spoiler alert,
