The Languedoc-Roussillon / Aude region

Languedoc-Roussillon is France's southernmost region bordered by Spain, Andorra and the Pyrenees Mountains and boasts one of the best sunshine rates in France. Its beautiful coastline offers miles of white, sandy beaches and picturesque fishing villages and ports to explore. Water sports including wind/kite surfing, sailing, canoeing, diving and water skiing can be found on the coast, whilst activities such as mountain biking, rock climbing, horse riding, white water rafting, hiking and golf are also available nearby.

The ski resorts of the Pyrenees mountains are just a 90 minute drive away. The local area offers an abundance of family activities and days out such as the underground caves at Ville-Franche (40mins), the little yellow train that travels up the Pyrenees mountains (40 mins), a fantastic African safari park with over 3000 animals (15 mins), hire a river boat for a relaxing trip along the beautiful Canal du Midi, as well as a whole host of adventure and water parks (20 mins).

For history lovers, the region has many abbeys and castles, including the medieval walled city at Carcassonne. Perpignan (20 min drive) is a bustling city where you can find chiq boutiques, busy pavement bars, cafés and restaurants.

The local culture is brought to life in carnivals and festivals, such as the traditional celebrations of the bull in the nearby Catalan towns and villages, the fishermen's festivals at Gruissan, Sète and Bouzigues; and traditional maritime jousting tournaments at Sète and Mèze. During July and August music festivals are held in most towns and villages.
