Languedoc is one of the least expensive areas of France with the hottest and driest climate. The welcoming market town of Narbonne is brimming with shops, cafes and restaurants, and historical interest. Attractions in the area: the medieval fortified city of Carcassonne, Cathar castles of Queribus and Peyrepertuse. Golf, tennis and cycle hire. Riding, walking, fishing, swimming, and canoeing along the crystal clear waters of the rivers Orb, Cesse and Aude, or splashing under the waterfall at the ancient village of Roquebrun. Roman remains in Nimes, the famous Pont du Gard; stunning gorges, grottoes, canyons and the magnificent vineyards of the Minervois and Corbières with abundant wine tasting.
The long sandy Mediterranean beaches are half an hours’ drive away. Narbonne Plage with its cafes, bars and ice-cream parlours. Gruissan, a beautifully landscaped resort full of flowers, palm trees and laurier rose bushes, with pink flamingos from the lively new marina to the ancient village.
