Languish in Languedoc Roussillon

The stunning region of Languedoc Roussillon is one of the most popular places to visit in France thanks to its close proximity to the Mediterranean Sea to the east and the Pyrenees Mountains to the south.

Unlike some northern French provinces, the area benefits from a typical Mediterranean climate as well as a spectacular coast line with stunning beaches to relax on.

For those looking for less beach and more culture, there is also a surprising number of historical sights to visit, including ancient cities, towns, villages, thermal springs, abbeys, cathedrals and castles.

Get a taste of Languedoc wine

After all that exploring, visitors to Languedoc are always gasping for a drink and what better way to get refreshed than a glass of the region's famous wine.

Languedoc Roussillon produces mainly red wines and over the last few years significant efforts have been made to improve the quality of the wine.

Today, Languedoc Roussillon has much to offer to any wine lover and tours and tastings are available throughout the year.

Perpignan et Montpellier

For those who want to have a bit more of a taste of city life, head to Perpignan or Montpellier.

Both have much to offer in terms of eating-out and night time activities as well as a number of hotels to stay in on your visit to the region.

Montpellier particularly has proved popular as a tourist haunt with its wealth of elegant private mansions and courtyards dating from the 15th to the 18th centuries.
