The Languedoc-Roussillon / Aude region

The region of Languedoc-Roussillon in south-west France is full of cultural and gastronomic variety thanks to its geography and history. Inhabited by a multitude of conquering peoples, in particular the Romans, Languedoc-Roussillon is full of fascination. It stretches from the Camargue in Provence to the eastern tip of the Pyrenees, down to the Mediterranean and is blessed with some of the most scenic countryside in France, world-renowned Roman buildings, medieval towns and abbeys, a stunning coastline and last but certainly not least, a gutsy local cuisine.

The lower Languedoc is a sunny land famous for its full bodied red wines, festivals and the medieval town of Carcassonne. The coast is scattered with sandy beaches and interesting seaside ports such as Agde and Sete. This is also one of the starting points for the great canal, Le Canal du Midi which was built in the 17th century linking the Mediterranean to the Atlantic.
The upper Languedoc is a mountainous landscape, with forests and mountain pastures making it an excellent destination for hikers, particularly the Parc National des Cevennes. The area of Roussillon, bordering the Pyrenees, has many obvious Catalonian influences, not least its common language of Catalan. It has pretty coastal villages and towns with valleys that go inland along the foothills of the mountains. It is a place to which artists - Matisse, Picasso and Fauves were drawn because of its luminous golden light.

Each day in this area will be full of interest and there is plenty for everyone to enjoy. Days on the beach can be interspersed with days wandering through the perfectly restored medieval fortress town of Carcassonne and then visiting the stunningly preserved architecture of the Pont du Gard. Don’t miss the many festivals that celebrate harvests, religious festivals and life in general and then meander softly on a barge up the Canal du Midi.
The food and drink of Languedoc -Roussillon is also very distinct. The legacy left behind by the Romans, particularly of wine and olive, is everywhere to be seen and tasted. Indeed this region is the largest wine making region in the world and best known for its robust and delicious red “country” wines labelled as Pays d’Oc.
The food here is as robust as the wines and the most famous languedocien is cassoulet, that wonderful garlicky stew of white beans and meat or sausage.
On the coast try gorgeous seafood in typical dishes such as bourride (fish with garlic mayonnaise) and the anchovy garlicky mix of anchoade.
Fruit in this region is also wonderful thanks to the sunny climate which ripens to perfection – try apricots and figs for a true flavour of the area.
As food, culture and nature lovers will attest, Languedoc-Roussillon is a land of riches with its inhabitants dedicated to the art of fine living, an enticing and delightful place to visit.

The Limoux / La Digne D' Amont area

The Villa is located at La Digne D' Amont a small village set in vineyards of the Aude valley only a few minutes drive from the bustling market town of Limoux. Situated between the Pyrenees and the plain of Carcassonne since Roman times Limoux boasts the delightful atmosphere of a medieval township.
Vineyards covering these sunny hillsides have for centuries produced high quality wines with Blanquette de Limoux, a sparkling bubbling white wine, the pride of this ancient tradition and dates back to the 16th century.
Limoux town square is typically French with a thriving cafè culture and all the ambience one would expect.
A good variety of food and drink can be found in and around the square, ranging from a sandwich to a full sit down meal. Because the locals use the same places as tourists the food is of a high standard and sensibly priced.
The square is also home to the Friday morning market and the Limoux Carnival, a colourful age-old traditional mix of music, serpentine dances and confetti performed each year between January and March. An occasional flea market can be seen on Sunday mornings alongside the main road to Quillan. Parking in Limoux is plentiful and generally Free.

Local activities include rafting in the Aude gorge, hydrospeed and canoeing. Accro parcs, mountain biking, fishing and swimming in the natural mineral water pool are available at Alet les Bains. Cycling for the enthusiast is very popular with endless mountain roads and minimal traffic, the less enthusiastic can hire bikes and ride along the Canal Du Midi. Walking along the Canal or indeed anywhere in the Pyrenees and the Corbières hills is possible almost everywhere you care to go. Ski Resorts close by include Les Angles, very popular and a comfortable distance to commute.
For those less keen on actvities there are the vineyards of the Languedoc, cool and fruity, the wine of the Languedoc is the symbol of Mediterranean conviviality. Chateau Pennautier on the outskirts of Carcassonne is one such place, highly recommended for its excellent wines, good food at sensible prices and very pleasant surroundings, the perfect way to spend an afternoon in the Black Mountains.

The Corbières hills are a secret land steeped in history with many tales to tell, not least those relating to the persecution of the mysterious Cathar heretics who developed a more ascetic and less ritualised version of Christianity, creating a very turbulent era in the country’s history.
The rugged beauty of the region is made all the more dramatic by the striking and seemingly inaccessible fortresses in which the doomed Cathars sought refuge. Anyone climbing up to one of these most astonishing Châteaux, that witnessed the oppression of the Cathars, will be rewarded with inspirational views towards the ever-present Pyrenees. TIP, take some food, drink, flat shoes and a warm top as you may like to picnic in the area and it can sometimes be quite windy around the Castles.
Cathar Châteaux's Peyrepertuse and Queribus, a most spectacular Cathar stronghold, are very close to Limoux and, together with the several other exceptional beauty spots mentioned below, can make your stay very interesting and enjoyable.

Rennes-le-Chateau where it would seem that in the late 19th century abbot Saunière unearthed treasure and documents so important that they might change the face of the world hence the Chateau's strong association with the Da Vinci Code, the Holy Grail and the book Labyrinth by Kate Mosse .

Rennes-les-Bains is well reputed for its health restoring springs where those famed builders and hot spring enthusiasts the Romans valued the hot water, rich in sulphate, calcium, chlorine and radio active properties.

Gorges Galamus with its single narrow roadway between the mountains where the river Agly has cut out one of the regions loveliest ravines. Triple asterisk for this place, simply breathtaking.

“Perfect location - fabulous villa” The Villa is ideally placed for Limoux in a quiet rural setting with the hills in front with occasional views of eagles. Car is essential to get around and to visit the lively town of Limoux - restaurants in town square very good for food and the prices. The Villa is comfortable and has plenty of grounds to relax in - liked the idea of a fully equipped kitchen and just replacing the items you used Local bakers and Le e clerc superb for all the requirements for a great self catering holiday. Could not fault the place and the owners are very helpful. Look out for 'Madam' who takes a walk both in the morning and evening - remember to say ' Bonjour Madam and you will get a response.
