The Languedoc-Roussillon / Aude region
The Languedoc-Roussillon region of France, close to Spain and the Pyrenees, is warm in summer, with crisp, cold winters, and sunshine for most of the year. There are quaint Medieval villages, outdoor recreation, tumbling rivers and stunning views of the mountains. The region is famous for its delightful wines and sparkling Blanquette de Limoux, and since the area is relatively undiscovered, the prices are low.
Limoux area
Limoux is an historic town which dates back to medieval times. It is surrounded by interesting places to visit , including Carcassonne, the enchanting town of Mirepoix, and the Pyrenees, with their spectacular mountain views. There are a full range of outdoor sports and activities including swimming, cycling, walking, tennis and golf .
An hour's drive from Limoux are the ski resorts of Ax-les-Thermes and Font Romeau. Enjoy the winter sports in cold crisp air and brilliant blue skies, finishing off with a glass of 'vin chaud' . From January to March join in with the 'Fecos', where dancers in pierrot costumes circle the square, in a winter Carnival unique to this delightful town.
How to get there
Limoux is easy to access via the A61, with budget airlines flying to airports at Toulouse, Perpignan and Carcassonne. Travel arrangements can be made online, and hire cars booked with flights, usually at very competitive prices.
