Boasting Medieval fortresses, Roman aqueducts, Mediterranean coastline, endless vineyards and expansive national parks, a visitor could spend a lifetime exploring sunny Languedoc-Rousillon. Sitting on the geographic divide between the Iberian peninsula and mainland Europe, the regions towns and cities, including beautiful Carcassonne, Nimes and Montpellier, are connected by paths both ancient and new. Hike Via Domitia, a Roman road, or rent a barge for a trip down the Canal du Midi.

5 km up a paved path to the top of these gorges. Beautiful scenery throughout with lots of opportunities to stop and dip your toes in the river, or throw yourself in the river by a running jump at a suitable point, great fun, if you feel like it! There are lots of places to sit on the rocks and enjoy the water all the way up the gorges in the summer. I think if you came in the late winter/spring, when the river was at it fullest, it might be more interesting to watch the flow. Take plenty of water with you, it's a long 5km up, but very do-able if you take it steady. There is a little cafe at the top for you to get a drink that isn't over priced, a definite plus. It's both suitable to walk or cycle. Very beautiful and worth a visit.

An unexpected shop in a beautiful place French hand-craft shop settled in a former mill built upon the water. A unique place to visit in a preserved village nestled in the UNESCO world heritage site of the Tarn canyon.

When I visited you didn't have to pay to park. I believe it's €6 in the Summer. A short walk brings you out to the mini waterfall on the River Cèze which then makes its way through stunning rock formations. You can walk over these and get right down to the water in places. Further down there's a small pebbly beach. Apparently in Summer this is a very popular spot for picnics and swimming. Off season it's a beautiful, calming place to visit.
