We flew into Toulouse March 22,2005 and took the bus into the city from the airport to our hotel. We stayed 2 nights and walked the city from there. The hotel is a 10-15 minute walk from the train station. We would definitely recommend it. Bill found an excellent price on the internet(sorry I don't have the site). It was 75 euros a night including a good buffet breakfast. Rates are generally lower on weekend in cities.
