The
Languedoc-Roussillon region borders the Mediterranean coast with 180kms of sandy
beaches from the Camargue to the Spanish border, and then west it borders Spain
as far as Andorra. The region extends north along the Midi-Pyrenees region as
far as Auvergne, the north and east border the Rhone-Alpes to the
provence.
Languedoc is the largest wine producing area in Europe with 740,300 acres of vineyards which is 3x more than Bordeaux.
The Coastal plain, much of which is protected includes the marshes of the Camargue,an un-spoilt wilderness of great beauty where traditions and rural life remain more or less unchanged. Contrast this with the vast National park of Cevennes, the lakes and mountains of Lozere and the limestone gorges of the Tarn and you have an area of great variety and interest
