Toulouse Nocturne association
Toulouse Nocturne is leading the debate on people’s rights and obligations in the city of Toulouse by night and day. It also contributes to the public debate regarding the city’s night-time policy, looking at how we can reconcile the needs of workers, sleepers and revellers in terms of transport, safety, health, culture, urban planning and trade. This think tank is an independent association of local residents, experts, professionals working on the ground, and those with ideas about the city at night. While mainly focused on the city of Toulouse, it sometimes extends its scope to the national or even international arena.Christophe Vidal Président de Toulouse Nocturne
