Regional & Travel Information

The region has an enormous amount to offer. Water sports on the coast, rivers and lakes, mountain biking in the hills. Swimming from gently sloping – and clean! – beaches, waterworld fun at Aqualand, Cap d’Agde, climbing in the Pyrénées.

Imposing ancient Cathar castles. The peaceful Canal du Midi, Carcassonne with its medieval walled city. The tax-free zone of Andorra. Elegant shops, ancient villages, abbeys, underground caves, fishing ports, Roman remains, the list is endless. Many of the historic towns and villages are well known: Pézénas, Agde, Perpignan, Montpellier . . . . and with Spain less than two hours away, you can also visit the Salvador Dali museum at Figueras.

The climate is one of the best in France, with an average of 2750 hours/300 days of sun each year and an average rainfall lower than that of Provence. The summers are hot and sunny, the winters dry and mild, and it only rains at night – most of the time! Regional weather
