Diversity is Languedoc Roussillon France is so many ways. Comprised of 26 different regions and five separate departments, it's diversity can hardly be in question. It borders the Mediterranean Sea along with Spain and Andorra on one side, while on the other it borders other French regions such as the Auvergne, and the Midi-Pyrenees, and also the Provence-Alpes-Cote and the Rhone-Alpes. Diversity seems to be the main driving spirit of this French wonder.
It's flag is seen displaying the 'cross of Languedoc' and the 'flag of Roussillon' as well. These are now only represented by colors of Red and yellow as a new flag is waved without referring back to the old provinces. These colors represent languedoc along with all its old territories that sprout from what was formerly the 'Crown of Aragon'.
This French region has been well known for its winemaking for many centuries. It's vineyards span out across 740, 300 acres, tripling the amount of area covered by the Bordeau. It took some entrepreneurs like Robert Skalli and James Herrick to transform it into a more viable wine country. They accomplished this by planting grapes better suited for winemaking and then petitioning for new AOC classifications.
Often called 'France's Sunbelt', this region lays out between the mountains of the Pyrennees and the Massif mountains. It holds 150 miles of curved coastline that is home to the most beautiful beaches known to France. The word itself, Languedoc, stems from the spoken tongue from back in the 13th century of France.
When visiting the region, you'll find there are no shortages of things to do and see. If wine and architecture tickle your fancy, then you won't be disappointed here. And if nudism on unspoiled beaches holds a particular attraction for you, again you're at the right place.
Visiting the Languedoc Roussillon France is a trip that you'll never forget. You'll wonder why you haven't heard more about it before. It lies quietly between the mountains, beckoning for wandering pilgrims to stop by and have a peek at it's wonder and splendor.
