Toulouse
is a city which is situated in the south of France right at the heart
of the department of Haute Garonne in the Occitania region. Built
around the Garonne River which flows through the heart of the city,
Toulouse was the theatre for many notable historical events such as the
crusades led by the French Kings against the heretic Cathares during the
middle ages. The county of Toulouse was annexed to the French realm at
the end of the 13th century.
Today this metropolis and French
capital of Aeronautics and Aerospace is home to such prestigious
establishments as the Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) but also
such industrial giants as TAS (Thales Alenia Space) and ADS (Airbus
Defence and Space). The famous City de l’Espace, a scientifically
oriented theme park, specifically geared towards the discovery,
exploration and the development of space travel is one of the many
tourist attractions appreciated by visitors to the city.
The
College-Lycée Les Maristes Toulouse has been situated in the Montaudran
neighbourhood since 2012. The school was built just next to the site of
the Montaudran runway. The self-same runway from which the planes of the
Aerospatiale, flown by the pioneers of civil aviation such as Jean
Mermoz, Henri Guillaumet, Paul Vachet ou Antoine de Saint Exupéry, took
off at the beginning of the 20th century.
Over the past three
years, the college has been working in partnership with the CNES on the
project « Mission eXplore : Je m'entraîne comme un astronaute »
involving both the Physical Education and Biology programs. The goal of
this project, created by the NASA in 2011, is to give youngsters an
insight into life in outer space. The Maristes’ objective with this
project, via the bias of the scientific and sporting challenges as well
as the project "Liaison ARISS" with Thomas Pesquet, is to promote:the
sciences and the professions linked to space studies the necessity of
associating regular sports activities with a healthy and balanced diet.
