There are so many interesting places to visit in the Languedoc. They include:

  • Montpellier - the regional capital and a fine university city with many 17th and 18th century houses, boulevards, parks and gardens.
  • Narbonne - founded by the Romans, is a busy centre for the wine trade with good shopping.
  • Sete - the largest Mediterranean fishing port on the coast of France and has many excellent fish restaurants.

The region is well known for its production of wine. Wine has been produced in Languedoc for more than 2000 years. The Greeks, and later the Romans, established colonies to produce wine and oil here.

In general the Languedoc climate is Mediterranean, with hot dry summers, rainy winters, and moderate springs and autumns.  You can expect to get 300 days of sunshine a year in the Languedoc, but the region covers a large area, and for various reasons the weather can vary considerably within its borders.

Getting to the region could not be easier. Ryanair now fly every day from Stansted to Carcassonne, Montpellier, Nîmes and Perpignan. British Airways flies from Gatwick to Montpellier. There is also the TGV, which whizzes from Paris to Montpellier in three hours.
