Bordering Spain, Andorra, the Mediterranean Sea, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Auvergne and Midi-Pyrénées, the south-western French region of Languedoc Roussillon delivers one of Europe’s most diverse scenic settings.

With a landscape that boasts spectacular mountains, vine-layered plains and rolling hillside, the region also hosts endless coastline and beautiful beaches, interspersed with small fishing ports and lagoons. It is also renowned for its fine cuisine and notably, is home to the world’s largest wine producing area.

A drive along Languedoc Roussillon’s coastal route between Banyuls-sur-Mer and Espiguette is understandably popular with holidaymakers. Along the way, visitors are able to stop off at countless points along the way and marvel at the awe inspiring views of the surrounding paysage and towering Pyrenees. Simultaneously holidaymakers are able to take in the region’s countless unspoiled Mediterranean beach locations and quaint fishing towns.  

With the inimitable array of scenery, the countless beaches, the food, the wine and the historic, yet metropolitan settings of Montpellier and Nimes, Languedoc Roussillon serves up a taste that will suit the palette of any holidaymaker.

This is a diverse region with many places of interest and beautiful landscapes, whether you prefer the coast with its sandy beaches and fishing villages or the inland mountains with its “bastides” and historic fortresses.
