Toulouse is in the middle of the south bit of France that borders Spain. You can understand that Spain and France are separate countries because the Pyrenees are pretty impenetrable. There are three roads, basically, that connect the two countries: one that goes round the bottom edge, one that goes over the top edge and one that goes through the middle. The middle is the most arduous, and passes through a third country, Andorra, which is so lost in the mountains that the two great powers decided just to share it. As a duty-free shop. That’s it, basically. Three roads.
