The coastal plain is dissected by the 18th Century Canal du Midi which passes the Cathedral city of Béziers before making its way between the Pyrenees and Massif Central on its way to the Atlantic. Inland is a different Languedoc of small pastel villages, empty and green countryside, stretching north to the mountains of the Cévennes where the region’s main rivers, the Gard, the Orb and the Hérault, have carved deep gorges and left spectacular caves like the Grottes des Demoiselles.
Wherever you decide to stay, the best way to see and feel this remarkable corner of France is by self-catering. Languedoc villas, gites and apartments from Just France make the perfect base.
