AT#929 – Travel to the Languedoc Region of Southern France

  1. AT#929 - Travel to the Languedoc Region of Southern France Chris Christensen 1:09:29

Hear about travel to the Languedoc Region as the Amateur Traveler talks to Craig from Dallas about his road trip through the historic cities of Southern France, including Montpellier, Albi, Sete, Beziers, Carcassonne, and Toulouse.

Why should you visit the Languedoc?

Craig, says, “We’ve been trying to spend more time in smaller regions [of France]. I think this is a really, specific and unique region to try to go to because it does have some regional differences that make it interesting, say from other parts of France. You’re going to find a lot of the same things here that you would think of going to France in general. Very good food and wine, churches, castles, palaces, art museums.”

Craig recommends a 7-day itinerary for visiting the Languedoc (Occitanie) region in southern France. Here’s the itinerary he outlines

Day 1: Montpellier

  • Arrival: Start in Montpellier, a vibrant university city with a historic core.
  • Activities:
  • Take a free walking tour to explore the highlights and hidden gems.
  • Visit the Arc de Triomphe, St. Pierre Cathedral, and MusĂ©e Fabre (second-largest art collection in France).
  • Explore street art, vibrant cafes, and local shops.
  • Vibe: Energetic, with a mix of historic charm and modern life.
