The Languedoc-Roussillon region is in the far south of France, bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Boasting almost 200 kms of coastline, it is understandable why this region is the second most popular tourist destination in France. Many of our villas are situated in prime locations near the stunning beaches that decorate this coastline, providing the perfect location for a holiday in the sun. Beaches aside, Languedoc-Roussillon is best known for its extensive vineyards. The Mediterranean climate and varied soil make it ideal for wine production. Enjoy a relaxing holiday tasting the wine - we even have Languedoc-Roussillon accommodation on vineyards themselves.

A vacation in the Languedoc-Roussillon region does not necessarily have to be a relaxing one. There are a multitude of active activities available, both on land and in the water. Choose between an extensive range of water sports, include sailing, windsurfing, diving, white water rafting, canoeing, swimming, canal cruising and even water therapy. On land, explore the stunning countryside on foot, on bike, on horseback or even from the air in a hang glider. For the more adventurous there is the option of mountaineering, skiing and caving.

History is an important aspect of the Languedoc-Roussillon region, and this is evident in the many historic buildings and monuments. Of particular note is the breathtaking fortified Roman city of Carcassonne, which contains ramparts dating back to 100 BC. Examples of medieval architecture can be found in the region's capital, Montpellier, including the famous Place De La Comédie.
