France's fourth-largest city — historically the aerospace capital (Airbus, ATR, EADS) with a 100,000-student university driving the café-and-tech scene. Pink-brick architecture (the "Ville Rose") gives the old town its distinctive look. Cost is meaningfully below Paris or Bordeaux for similar 1-bed apartments. The southwest French location puts Pyrenees skiing (2 hours), Mediterranean beach (2 hours), and Barcelona/Bilbao (3-4 hours) all in weekend range. France's Profession Libérale visa applies (~€2,500-3,200/mo income, 1-year renewable); Schengen 90/180 for visa-free passports. Coworking is dense; Wi-Fi is reliable.
