Towns & Villages
There are an abundance of beautiful typical French southern villages and towns to explore in the Languedoc. For a lovely day out, take a scenic trip through the Minervoix, where you will cross deep gorges and flowery meadows until you reach the little village of Minerve perched up on the cliff. Another worthwhile day trip is to Collioure, which boasts a beautiful beach, as well as a mediaeval château with dramatic coastal views. If you are in search of local culture, the village of Limoux holds popular wine-tasting festivals during the summer months.
Slightly further north, around an hour’s drive away, is the wonderful city of Toulouse. Owing to the pink stone used in many of its buildings, the town is referred to as the 'Ville Rose', and is full of terrific restaurants, high-end shops, and site-seeing opportunities.
