Languedoc-Roussillon

 

Languedoc-Roussillon offers a wide selection of landscapes: endless sunny beaches that can go on for four miles at a stretch, immense vineyards bordered by olive groves, arid limestone hills scorched by the sun, and sparsely populated mountainous forests. Roughly half of the size of New Hampshire, the region covers a territory of 10,600 square miles and can be divided into four geographical areas.
