Languedoc-Roussillon

Overview:

Becoming ever more popular with travelers seeking a relatively undiscovered area of France, the Languedoc Roussillon region is located in the south-west. To the east it follows the contours of the Mediterranean coast and borders its neighbors Spain and Andorra on its southern edge. The majestic fortress of Carcassonne appears at its heart and from here one can easily spoke out to explore the villages of the Tarn River Canyon, experience the beauty of the Lot River Valley and its villages as it cuts a wide, sweeping path through the dramatic limestone valley, and enjoy the influences of the Mediterranean in terms of architecture, culture, tradition and food.
