Welcome to the Languedoc...

..... The unspoilt South Of France

An enchanting region with sleepy medieval villages, fabulous hilltop castles, ancient abbeys and Roman ruins, all waiting patiently over the centuries for you to discover and enjoy.

The Region Of Languedoc

West of Provence, Languedoc is one of the last truly undiscovered and unspoilt regions of southern France, bordered by the mountains of the Massif Central to the north and the long sandy beaches of the Mediterranean to the south, it stretches from the Rhone Delta to the Pyrenees.

An area of outstanding natural beauty and rich in a history dating back over two thousand five hundred years to the original Greek and Roman settlements......

A land of pastel-coloured villages, amidst countless miles of vineyards simmering in the sun....craggy mountains and gorges softened by winding rivers and canals...orchards of peach, apricot and cherry, surrounded by....

The wild garrigue, a landscape dotted with bright yellow splashes of broom, Spanish oak and sweet-smelling pine, wild orchids and the intoxicating fragrances of thyme, aniseed and peppery herbs....

The towns and cities of Narbonne, Perpignan, Montpellier, Agde and Nimes stand as monuments to the great civilisations of Greece and Rome and to the incursions of Moors, Saracens and the Kings of Majorca....

Fabulous castles tower above the landscape and reflect the turbulent history of the Cathars and the papal crusades that destroyed them.....and the cobbled streets of the small hilltop villages ring with echoes of the past......

The combination of the elegant ruins of ancient civilisation viewed against a backdrop of breathtaking natural beauty has proven quite irresistible to those who experience it and visitors are inevitably drawn back to the region time after time.
