TOULOUSE

Chinese student’s body found in forest

The body of a Chinese student living in Toulouse who went missing in July this year has been found in a forest 260 km away.

Cui Luchao, who came to Toulouse to finish his doctorate in chemistry, disappeared on July 13 this year.

His fully-dressed body was found in woods in the Lozère region, 260 km from the city of Toulouse, this weekend.

A document found on his body suggests he wanted to go to the Stevenson road – named after Scottish writer Robert Louis Stevenson, who crossed the Cévennes mountains, part of which are in Lozère, by donkey in 1878.

When travelling is possible again, getting to Toulouse from the north-west of England is set to become much easier with the launch of new flights from Manchester Airport.

Jet2 already flies to Bergerac, La Rochelle and Nice. The company announced the new destination in response to demand for summer 2022 holidays.

Flights to the “Pink City” in south west France will operate from May 1st until October 16th 2022.

“Since putting our Summer 2022 programme on sale from Manchester Airport, we have added a significant number of flights and destinations in response to the demand from customers who want to get their all-important holidays booked in,” Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said in a press release.

Since the British government announced a lockdown roadmap on Tuesday, with plans to end England restrictions by June 21st, the company has begun to see a surge in bookings.

However the present rules on entry into France from the UK are the strictest they have ever been, with virtually no travel allowed between the two countries and no end-date to the current restrictions.

Jet2 plans to reopen its services in mid-May.

“Following the UK government announcement that international travel will not return until May 17th 2021 at the earliest, we have taken the decision to extend the suspension of flights and holidays up to and including 16th May 2021,” Jet2 said on Twitter.
