The region of Occitania also reffered as the "other Provence" is traversed by the romantic canal du midi.In the heart of an incomparable geographic site, you will discover a stunning diversity in the cities and the villages, drenched in history and romance : Montpellier the dynamic,
Narbonne the mosaic, Carcassonne the medieval, Sete the mediterranean, Beziers the Occitan, Perpignan the catalan, or Nimes, the roman.

Occitania offers a wide range of quality accommodation - on the coast, in the countryside, in the town and in the mountains. Languedoc-Roussillon is a land of coastal plains, garrigue (Mediterranean scrubland), mountains, valleys and plateaux. The rich variety of the region’s landscapes has strongly influenced the architecture, lifestyle and culture of its people. The name of the region itself underlines its dual identity: Occitan and Catalan.

The local culture is brought to life in carnivals and festivals, such as the traditional celebrations of the bull in the Camargue marshes (the ‘Bouvine’ festivals); the fishermen’s festivals at Gruissan, Sète and Bouzigues; and traditional maritime jousting tournaments at Sète and Mèze.

Occitania s countryside is unspoiled and its coastline protected, but its historic and cultural riches are also stunning. The region is littered with historical monuments, abbeys and castles and boasts several UNESCO World Heritage sites: the Pont du Gard, the Canal du Midi, the medieval city of Carcassonne and the pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela, which take in the abbey of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert and the abbey church of Saint-Gilles.
