Accommodation and Facilities for the villa in Herault, Languedoc-Roussillon, France

Languedoc

The Area Languedoc derives its name from its ancient language, the Language of Oc (in which Oc means yes), which was spoken in the Middle Ages all the way from Nice to Bordeaux. At the beginning of the middle ages, the area we think of now as the Languedoc was independent from the kings of France; it had a rich culture of its own, expressed in music and a vigorous literature. It was here that the medieval cult of courtly love was born; this is perhaps the ancestor of our idea of romantic love. The patois, that you still hear spoken by people all over the south-west of France, is an echo of that civilization. The climate is excellent; it is not uncommon to have 300 days of sunshine in a year.

Indeed, the Canal du Midi flows from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean across the Languedoc with some particularly attractive stretches around Narbonne at Paraza, Roubia and Ventenac.
