You know those people who swear they could drop everything for "a new adventure abroad"? Apparently, that's not quite the vibe in Toulouse... According to a study by Adobe Express, the Occitan capital earns the bronze medal for the cities most attached to their region. In simple terms: 34% of Toulouse workers don’t want to move, neither from their apartment, nor their sunshine, nor their accent (and we totally get that). Opportunities abroad do appeal to 28% of them, but the call of the South is stronger than anything. The combination of work, family, and a good aperitif is sacred.
.
At the top of the rankings, we find Rennes and Nice, two other cities where the sense of belonging is strong. But honestly, who would want to leave a city where the blue sky shows up 250 days a year and where cassoulet is a loyalty argument all on its own?
A connection that goes beyond work
According to the OECD, a French person stays in the same job for an average of ten years before moving on. But in Toulouse, this number takes a different turn; work is important, but not at the expense of quality of life. With sunsets over the Garonne, bike rides along the Canal du Midi, and weekends in the countryside,the mountain à 1h30 drive, no wonder the Pink City keeps its residents stuck like chewing gum on the pavement !
