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.

The musee Fabre is a fantastic destination in Montpellier, we paid 10 euros and saw the Picasso exhibition which was well presented and certainly showed his sense of humour, the ticket gives entry to the permanent collection which starts off with some exhibits on art restoration then the gallery unfolds over many floors with room after room of wonderful paintings, - I think the ticket allows you to go back as you might need to explore in stages, entry to the maison sebattiere is included, and whilst attractive is relatively small and won't take long! It shouldn't be a surprise to find something of the quality of the Fabre in Montpellier, there should just be more like it!

Contemporary of the Colosseum in Rome, the amphitheater of Nîmes is the best preserved amphitheater in the Roman world. The audio-guided tour, available in 10 languages, lets visitors experience the gladiator shows and life in Roman times. The "gladiator's quarter" presents the weapons and techniques of gladiatorial fights.
We saw a concert in this arena (Tears for Fears during their summer concert series) and it was AMAZING. Id love to go back and see another one. The setting is awesome.

Beautiful abbey just outside Narbonne (you need transport). In an excellent state of repair and an informative leaflet (although the downloadable PDF is better- available French, English, Spanish). The cloisters are interesting, as are the gardens, but the piece de resistance is the church with its incredible stained glass windows. We came back in the evening to watch the light show (10-midnight). We were concerned that we would just see everything again, but in the evening, but the show was completely different and an excellent evening experience. The beautifully done show in the tour d’honneur/ courtyard (french only) was the highlight, as was a nice light show in the Louis XIV courtyard. Not too expensive (unless you opt for their meal+show, which we didn’t).

We absolutely loved visiting here. Imagine a real life medieval town, Harry Potter fans would love this place. I loved everything thing about it .... from the cobbled streets, the amazing turrets, to the fantastic shops, the incredible history and being able who walk around in a living city with so much history. The church had gorgeous stained glass windows. Go here, it is amazing!

Enjoyed a few hours here in August sunshine. It caters for huge numbers of people but is absolutely vast with safe shallow waters and refreshments nearby. Car park is reasonable for what you are gaining access to, and every time you walk through the entry parting in the dunes it is like Holkham in Norfolk just with warmer and closer water!! Up to my neck in the Med with a huge shoal of small fish rolling with the gentle swell was just wonderful.

We decided to do this walk from Argelès-sur-Mer to Collioure. The route in one word: beautiful. The route is going over the mountains near the sea. So you got a lot of beautiful sights on the sea, coast and the villages around. A lot of the mountains have a sort of stairs so this makes climbing much easier and safer. Tip: instead of taking the bus back to argeles you can take the boat. For 7euro you have a boat back to argeles (duration 15min)

This villa is the architectural version of Mucha's JOB posters: art nouveau at its best. From the grand staircase that leads to the glass-ceiling portico, to the paneled reception rooms and lush colonnade patio, you will feel like you are at the turn of the century. And, it's free to enter!

This is the real naturism experience. Being onewith the beautiful nature that surrounds you. The atmosphere is filled with respect for others and for nature. I love to give aroma sessions every year in the cosy sauna and enjoy afterwards a good swim in one of the pools together with a drink at the bar... Fantastic. This is what naturisme and relaxing holiday is all about...The way of life i like
