Regions of France : Languedoc-Roussillon - Golf Courses click here

Although not as well known as Paris and Marseille, Languedoc-Roussillon is a region full of diversity. Its prime position in the south of France overlooking the Mediterranean blesses the region with charming beaches and fishing ports. Further inland, ancient castles and structures can be found, buried within the rolling mountains. Yet during ski season, the Font Romeu-Pyrenees slopes are blanketed with soft white snow. It comes as no surprise then that both Matisse and Picasso came to region precisely for its vibrant landscapes.

Languedoc-Roussillon is also a region steeped in history and culture. Within Montpellier, visitors find themselves in the presence of opera houses, three hundred year old mansions, cathedrals and even a botanical garden from the reign of Henry IV. The historic Fabre Museum with a collection of 800 paintings and works from both ancient and modern times.
Further out, travellers can find the iconic Pont du Gard, a UNESCO listed world heritage site. This structure is an impressive work of civil engineering and is reminiscent of Rome’s domination in the Mediterranean. Meanwhile, the Canal du Midi, which links the Mediterranean with the Atlantic is as much a technological feat as a work of art.

Carcassonne – the finest medieval walled city

Visiting the medieval fortified town of Carcassonne - "la Cité" in local parlance - is like taking a great stride back in time. Built on an outcrop of rock on the east bank of the Aude River, the Cité sits perched splendidly overlooking the modern part of Carcassonne and has been completely restored during the 19th century to its former glory as the once impenetrable stronghold of the Middle Ages. The careful and meticulous restoration job has generated for Carcassonne the status of most frequently-visited site in all of the southern Languedoc region, serving the dual function of preserving and educating us about the rich history of the department. This important role was duly recognized in 1997 when the site was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list.

As a very popular tourist attraction, the Cité is not simply a "medieval Disneyland". Inside the ramparts, it still houses a resident population, and alongside the many bistros and gift shops, all the usual facilities you would expect for a small hamlet - a post office, a school, a hotel, etc. - are still running. The site also contains the Basilique Saint-Nazaire, an open-air theatre and the fortified Chateau Comtal, protected and preserved thanks to the system of double ramparts. In all, these ramparts connect 14 towers on the outside wall and 24 around the inner circle.

Gard

The Pont du Gard is France’s most impressive Roman monument
This famous bridge and aqueduct, a Unesco world heritage site, is one of the most famous landmarks of France.
With its three rows of arches, 275 metres long and 48 metres high, it is one of the most impressive bridges ever built by the Romans.
The three-tiered Roman aqueduct over the Gardon Valley is the finest in the world. In a good state of repair, it was begun by Agrippa in 19BC and finished by Trajan over a century later. It spans 900ft and is built of limestone. It carried water 31 miles down a gradient of only 60ft to Nîmes.
 

The Romans chose the Eure in Uzes to supply the town of Nimes with water and they built a thirty mile aqueduct and the bridge to achieve it. Today you can learn more about the history and heritage of the city of Uzes. There's also free time to explore the site of le Pont du Gard.
