The Languedoc-Roussillon / Aude region
The Languedoc-Roussillon is the hottest and driest part of France, it is the largest wine producing region. The coast is long popular with French families, more recently discovered by the rest of Europe because of cheap airlines and good rail and motorway links. It offers maginificent beaches, ancient towns such as Carcossone, Narbonne, Montpellier and Perpignan. It has its own language, Occitane, hence 'Langue d'Oc, the language of the troubadours'. It has the turbulent history of a border region, and Spain and the Pyrennees, with its ski resorts, are only an hour away. The centre of the Cathar religous doctrine, which was ruthlessly supressed in the 13th century, has left a legacy of fortified castles and churches. Wild hills magnificent beaches and unspoilt villages characterise this magical landscape.
Fitou area
Domaine des Capitelles is perched above Fitou which nestles in a deep gorge, with steps into village. Immediately on leaving the domaine are magnificent views of the Mediterranean coast, the Pyrenees and the Corbiere hills.
To the east are the coastal resorts of Part Leucate, Leucate Plage and Le Franqui (10 mins) separated by the salt water lagoons with its oyster beds, which you can sample in its famous oyster 'shacks'.
Just 20 minutes from Perpignan and an hour from Carcossone, Collioure, Ceret, Spain and the Pyrenees, where you can take 'the little yellow train' past snow topped Mt Canigou.
