The Languedoc-Roussillon - Vin en Vacances
The Languedoc-Roussillon is a perfect jewel lying hidden at the foot of the Pyrénées. It is a moment in time reminiscent of Provence fifty years ago. Take a drive along its dusty winding roads and discover this amazing land smothered in wild sage, thyme and rosemary and huge craggy rock outcrops highlighting the rows of grape vines below. Ancient villages sit on hill tops, medieval castles stand proudly on mountains and the magnificent Carcassonne citadel, with its fluttering red flags flying in the wind, welcomes you to this unique part of the world.
Once this region was known only for quaint country wines, but now it is the most exciting vineyard region in France! Every kind of wine, from full bodied and complex reds through to delicate sparkling whites can be found within a stone’s throw of each other.

Honey from Corbières, truffles from Cabardès, olive oil from Minervois and the Chèvre (goats cheese) from Saint-Chinian. There are many unique and beautiful places here each with a long history such as Minerve, named by the Romans after the Goddess of wisdom, and Lagrasse with its beautiful abbey and the Cathar castles such as Queribus and Peyreperteuse.
