The Languedoc and Roussillon regions of France bathe in a warm Mediterranean climate, which boasts an average of 300 days of sunshine per year. Discover the diversity of the landscape from the wetlands of the Camargue, famed for its white horses and pink flamingos, to hidden rocky coves and vast secluded beaches, with the foothills of the pretty Pyrénées in the background. Nestling inland, there are sleepy rustic villages, ancient hilltop ruins and endless horizons of vineyards. Rich in culture and history, it is easy to stumble upon many Roman aquaducts, Cathar castles and international festivals.
