Attractions

Languedoc Wine is the principle product of some of the finest vineyards in France. Here, wine-making dates back 27 centuries with 300,000 hectares of vineyards. Visit a wine merchant or vineyard, especially during the autumn harvest when the grapevines are exploding with delicious juices. You are rarely far from a vineyard here! Ancient history is right at your feet as well in the Languedoc, the Via Domitia is one of the greatest Roman roads ever built. Let the honey-coloured streets, age old customs, festive fetes and the sumptuous southern wines tempt you to visit!

Activities

Boating along the Canal du Midi is one of life’s finer pleasures; you cannot help but slow down and relax. Moreover, there are intricate, organised bike paths running through the Herault countryside; sparkling rivers for rapid canoe rides and 3 challenging golf courses to choose from. The whole region is a delightful natural playground! Try hiking, fishing, rock climbing or potholing for example. All this mixed with brilliant sunshine and the shimmering Mediterranean Sea are, of course, a compelling combination for any family or anyone needing a ‘real’ breath of fresh air.

Restaurants

City or countryside eating and drinking will be a pure pleasure. Walking and visiting the myriad of charming towns and villages scattered around is the only way to discover captivating hidden streets and stumble upon (and out of) enchanting little wine bars & delectable restaurants; they are peppered along tree-lined avenues and tucked away in town centres. Try all the local tasty treats: fresh fish, oysters, organic grapes, olives and sugary sweets; whether it's picnicking in a park or enjoying a restaurant, go for it! But a word of caution: don’t try them all at once!

Wine and gastronomy: savour delicious Mediterranean cooking

Béziers is the historic capital of the Languedoc vineyards. It is wine, allied to a way of life and a culture, that has shaped our region, and in particular the hinterland. The landscape of vines, bright green in summer, glowing red in autumn, was created by the work of men. Their talent, passion and care during all the years past still shine through today.
There are many tasting cellars spread over the region which are there to open their doors to you. Go and visit them - youll discover their best wines and learn the art of wine-tasting.
These wines will accompany shellfish from the Etang de Thau, fish from the Mediterranean and charcuterie from the High Languedoc, not to mention olives and goats or sheep cheese. Come and discover combinations of dishes and wines that youve never tasted before.

The Haut Languedoc Regional Natural Park: A haven of coolness and calm

There you will find a subtle palette of contours and climates, forests and lakes. Youll discover villages typical of the region, its extraordinary heritage, the richness of its wildlife and plants. Youll be enchanted as you explore the heart of nature, abundant and protected, in magnificent pine forests like those of Canada, and cross the path of mountain sheep in the heights of the Espinousse.
Go climbing and rambling in the heights of the Caroux, bathe in the pure waters of the Héric, take your canoes and kayaks on the Orb - or fish in the river, go horse-riding, donkey-riding or walking. Enjoy nature to the full and discover the region off the beaten track.
Great favourites for bathing, water-sports and for unforgettable walks, these attractive lakes are wonderful places for visitors to stop and enjoy.

Cities full of art and history, festivities and traditions

Our countryside abounds with traces of the past. Since prehistoric times, men have built homes here, temples for their gods, new places to live and refuges to protect themselves from invaders.
The Greeks left their mark on Agde and the Romans on Béziers. The monks raised abbeys, such as Fontcaude, and abbey churches, such as in Capestang. The people of Pézenas built palaces in the 17th century and in the 19th, the winemakers constructed their chateaux. In Minerve, the memory of the Cathars is still alive.
Contemporary artists exhibit in many places, such as the Museum of Modern Art at Sérignan, and you will find theatrical productions and current music at Sortie Ouest and at Zinga Zanga. In summer, the entertainments are even more festive and picturesque, like the Feria of Béziers, the nightlife at the Cap dAgde and the many festivals which take place over the whole region.
