The Languedoc -Roussillon region of France In the heart of the Mediterranean basin and the gates of Spain, the Languedoc-Roussillon is an enchanting region where the sun shines for more than 300 days a year. It’s in this exceptional area that the lively department of Pyrénées Orientales can be found. Appreciated by connoisseurs for its heritage, gourmet cuisine and inimitable vintage wines, it’s considered as a land of history and discovery. Its breathtaking landscapes open up inland on mountains and garrigues, as sea side, ponds, lagoons and beaches spread out far away. This region was one of the earliest to be inhabited by humans and, located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean, was an extremely important trade route and passage. The Roman history of Languedoc-Roussillon is long and has left some spectacular traces. The names of towns, the Catalan language, the region’s heady wines and olive-oil dishes all testify to the lasting influence of 400 years of occupation. It is also where the Romanesque art emerged in the early 11th C in its most impressive way ranging from little churches to large, important Cistercian abbeys. Languedoc-Roussillon region is composed of 5 departments: Lozere, Gard, Herault, Aude, and Pyrenees Orientales. This region is very diverse: farmlands, countryside, vineyards, the beaches of the Cote du Languedoc (214 km) and important cities such as Montpellier, Narbonne, Perpignan, Béziers and Carcassonne. 2 500 years ago, the olive trees were brought by the Greeks. The olive trees of Languedoc grow dry little black olives or juicy big green olives. Olives and olive oil are on all outdoor markets. This region consume 50 000 tonnes of olive oil per year! Carcassonne Was the site of a Roman town until the invasion of the Visigoths in the 5th century. In the 8th century it came to a Franks tribe. During the 13th century crusade against the inhabitants of Albi, Carcassonne was captured and its inhabitants were killed by the Anglo-Norman soldier Simon de Montfort. In 1247, Carcassonne came under the French crown. Perpignan The economic and cultural capital of Roussillon, this is a Catalan city. You’ll notice the strong influence of Barcelona, capital of the “new” Catalonia. With its architectural refinement of its cathedral, royal palace, its convents and monasteries, the town houses, ramparts and fortifications, similar with the Barri Gothic of Barcelona, Perpignan is one of the capitals of Gothic art in the Mediterranean. Collioure Is a fishing village which was “discovered” by Matisse in 1905, attracted by the light, the sun and the blue of the sky and sea, he persuaded other painters to join him. It soon became an artists' mecca, attracting Derain, Dufy, Dali and Picasso. The harbor is full of “working” fishing boats, and pleasant promenades, which wind up into the hills and beaches all around. Port Vendres As the only natural port along the côte Vermeille between the Mediterranean, the Pyrenees and Spain, Port-Vendres was known already to the Greek mariners of antiquity. The port flourished after the French conquest during the 17 th century. It was this maritime prosperity which led to the construction, in the 18 th century, of a splendid urban complex around the port, symbolized today by the place de l'Obélisque. Today Port-Vendres is both a deep-water commercial port and a fishing and yachting harbor open all year round. With its creek beaches it offers every seaside leisure facility and secure places to swim and sun bathe. Set on the magnificent rocky slopes overlooking Port-Vendres are the prestigious vineyards of Banyuls, which also produce the Collioure appellation wine. There is a little seaside train which connects Collioure and Port Vendres and which means you can make the most of both ports, their restaurants and shops. This is a fantastic little fishing town with a real sense of community and fun and would make an ideal investment for someone who is looking to spend time in France and get to know the region. Argeles-sur-Mer (pronounced 'Ar-jel-ess') is located on the southern Mediterranean coast of France, 15 minutes drive from Perpignan and about half an hour from the Spanish border. As a holiday base it offers access to varied coastal scenery, including glorious sandy beaches as well as the dramatic mountain terrain of the Alberes hills with the Pyrenees only an hour away. During the summer, the town's 10,000 resident population increases tenfold, mainly due to the large number of surrounding campsites. Despite this influx, the area manages to retain its charm as one of France's unspoilt rural areas. There are two main parts to the town of Argeles. The old town, a kilometre inland, has narrow, cobbled streets and a lively street market selling local produce twice a week. Next to the beach, there is a more recent development geared to the toursit trade, with a wide selection of restaurants, shops, hotels and self-catering apartments. Nearby Argeles-Port offers a safe harbour for yachts. The wine-lover will find much to enjoy in the surrounding Roussillon area, which produces a vast quantity of wine, with a trend of improving quality in recent years. For the holidaymaker prepared to travel form Argeles as a base, there are many fascinating visits that are close enough for a day trip. These include the mediaeval walled city of Carcassonne, the Salvador Dali museum in Figueres, northern Spain, the massive peak of Canigou (2784m), and many other attractions. A longer journey, but still possible as a day trip, will take the determined traveller to the principality of Andorra, a skiing centre in winter and a popular destination for duty-free shopping. Daily flights are available from Stansted and other UK airports direct to Perpignan. There are also services from various UK locations to Carcassonne, Montpellier and Gerona in Spain - and the major international airport at Barcelona is just two hours drive from Argeles.
