Languedoc Roussillon
Clear blue skies, golden sandy beaches and warm crystal clear waters make this region a very popular holiday destination for both sun worshippers and watersports enthusiasts.
The newer stylish resorts on the coast such as Cape d'Agde have become some of the most favoured of the French tourist havens.
Travel back in time as you move inland and visit the rural towns and pretty villages. Vineyards flourish in Languedoc with Béziers being the wine producing capital of the region.
