Tourism is a growing industry on Languedoc Roussillon but still in its infancy. The region is well served by low cost airlines into Carcassonne, Nimes and Perpignan and Montpellier international airport. Languedoc Roussillon has mild winters and long hot summers as well as 200 miles of sandy coastline.

     Fanned by the breezes of the Mistral and Tramontane, the seaside is a paradise for sailing enthusiasts and windsurfers and with 20 golf courses, 6,300 kilometres of trails and skiing in the Massif Central and Eastern Pyrenees, the region is a delight for sports lovers.

Wine production is one of the mainstays of the economy of Languedoc Roussillon. The wine produced there has changed considerably in the past decade and has moved from concentrating on volume to emphasising quality.
     The pretty port of Coullioure in the Pyrenees Orientales was painted by Matisse and Picasso among others, Dali painted at Perpignan and at Sète, Nimes and Ceret, museums bear testament to their work.

The coast is in sharp contrast to the mountain areea with miles of sandy beaches for family holidays. The Canal du Midi is ideal for barge holidays or canal boat trips.

Gard is named after the river which first lured the Romans to settle there and make Nimes the Rome of France. It is the base of the Rhone delta where bulls graze on the marshy banks alongside pink flamingos.
