One of the most diverse regions of France,
Languedoc-Roussillon offers mountains, lakes,
rivers and beautiful stretches of coastline;
major towns and fairytale citadels. Languedoc is
one of the most prolific wine-producing areas of
France and a happy afternoon can be spent
touring the many vineyards and tasting the local
produce.
For years Languedoc (the language of the
Occitan) was a independent state from France,
and today still retains its own flag and
traditions that are associated as much with
Spain as with France.
Montpellier, France’s southern jewel, is an
historic and lively university town with a
picturesque 'Vieille Ville', as well as being
the modern centre of Medicine in France. It is
the cultural and economic centre of the
Languedoc-Roussillon wine-producing region.
Nearby towns include Arles, Avignon, Carcassonne,
La Grande Motte, Beziers, Nîmes and Sète. Other
local, world-famous attractions include the Pont
du Gard, a 2000-year-old Roman aqueduct, and the
Camargue, a nature lovers' paradise, with its
black bulls, white horses and pink flamingos.
Visitors may go shopping and sightseeing in
Montpellier, visit local museums and châteaux,
enjoy wine-tasting and French cooking and visit
the nearby Mediterranean beaches.
For the more adventurous traveller the Languedoc
offer a wide range of sports with the Pyrennes
and the Massive Central providing winter
activities and the Mediterranean, and lakes like
the Lac du Salagou, giving you the perfect place
to hone up on your water sports.
Travelling to the Languedoc has never been
easier. The motorway links have now been
completed bringing Montpellier within eight
hours of Calais, and the Eurostar/TGV runs
several times a day from London and Ashford in
Kent to Montpellier in less than seven hours.
Low cost carriers make flying an even more cost
effective way to travel offering flights not
only to Montpellier but also to Nime, Narbonne
and Carcassonne.
