What to do and see in Languedoc-Roussillon, Occitanie: The Best Educational sites

October 14, 2021 Russell Mellin

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.

We did the regular visit 3 years ago, and returned this year for the 2-hour spéléo tour with kids ages 15, 12 and 8. I would recommend doing both! The first to learn about the history and geology; the second to see it up close in spectacular fashion. The spéléo team is friendly and super pro. The course is challenging in spots (bring good shoes and good humor), and Nicolas was an excellent guide, allaying all nerves and nimbly appearing at our sides at the precise moment someone needed help or encouragement across a passage. Kids reported feeling periodically terrified but then so proud of themselves for doing it. Concentrated primarily on my feet, I did not have a great deal of head space for asking questions about the formations so was glad to have been previously to have some idea of what I was seeing. Picnic areas on site are a plus; parking can be hairy in the high season so plan ample time.

Musee - Parc des Dinosaures

Reviewed By SarahandRichP - Bromley, United Kingdom

We had a 3 and 4 year old with us and they enjoyed the Parc as did all the adults. It's a simple walk amongst the trees with a great combination of replicas, fossils and history details. The leaflet in English covered what we couldn't quite understand in our broken French. The fact it is an actual archeological site makes it more interesting, a nice way to spend a morning.

What better way to spend last day in Camargue than take the train ride(at sunset) and see how salt is made. The scene is beautiful and looking at pink flemingos is a sight for sore eyes..
