The Languedoc is a concealed jewel of Europe; the most discriminating travellers are delighted to find it. The region has many of the same features that endear visitors to neighboring Provence: a warm coastline, outdoor marketplaces, picturesque hillside villages, premium dinner, and vineyards dotting the landscape. Yet Provence is the one with the reputation that triggers travellers to flock there. Provence's attractiveness is largely thanks to literature such as A Yr in Provence by Peter Mayle. Make no oversight. The Languedoc-Roussillon is really as enchanting, or even more so, as its trendier neighbor. Perhaps it's a crisp, dewy morning hours that inspires you to produce a dawn stroll to a bakery. Maybe you capture a whiff of some intangible, indescribable smell similar to a mountaintop in the Languedoc. It could even be considered a dream in which you have there been, and then wake longing to come back. The Languedoc has a certain immeasurable quality to it. Fond memory cling to you well after you return home. The Languedoc can suit nearly every traveler's tastes. It isn't densely filled, and there are many rural outposts for anybody who desires a retreat from the bustle of the big city. Those who prefer to be in the thick of things, however, have the option of visiting the region's much larger places, such as Carcassonne, Montpellier, or Perpignan. You can find shorelines, mountains, valleys, and the Canal du Midi. You can find medieval villages, ancient Roman ruins, Cathar strongholds, and stately cathedrals. Any visit must include a sampling of the local dishes, which is delectable. The ancient town of Carcassonne has many features to be commended. The best feature is La Cite, the old fortified city that is completely surrounded by ramparts. Inside, there are museums, cafes, and souvenir shops selling medieval tapestries and Cathar figurines. Montpellier, in the Herault, is the administrative centre of the Languedoc. It is also home to a 13th-century medical school and museums specialized in medicine.
