Languedoc-Roussillon

Bordering Provence, this region contains some of the most dramatic landscape in France, from the mountains of the Cevennes to the spectacular gorges of the Tarn. With its famous wine growing areas, Corbieres and the Herault, the historic towns of Nimes, Carcassonne and Perpignan, pretty villages such as Pezenas and the coastal resorts of Sete and Cap-d'Agde, Languedoc-Roussillon has much to offer. The guide is divided into two parts. The first explores the region via typical themes with specialist maps that pinpoint the best places to pursue various holiday interests such as walking and sightseeing. The second half examines the region by subdividing it into smaller areas, recommending towns, villages, areas of natural beauty and monuments and attractions. The guide is packed with over 600 things to see and do, suitable for all ages and includes discount vouchers offering reductions on entry fees to attractions in the guide and money off local goods.
