Toulouse was our first stop being it was about 300 miles south of Lignieres and home to Airbus Industries. So on Friday morning some 7 weeks ago we joined the very few on the A71 and drove south through Claremont-Ferrand. I was interested in us getting a tour of the manufacturing plant where the Airbus aircraft were assembled. We had gotten our reservations when we were in California and now we would get our tickets to see one of the biggest factories in the world! I've seen Boeing's in Seatle and it is impressive but this is supposed to be much bigger, so we would see.
