Travel guides and maps - for Languedoc-Roussillon, France
The
Rough Guide to Languedoc and
Roussillon
Price: £11.76
Probably
the best guide to the area -
but unfortunately missing out
some of the Gard region, and
all of Lozère. The full-colour section introduces the area's highlights from the picturesque beach town of Collioure and the Orb Valley mountain river to swimming at the Pont Du Gard - an extraordinary Roman Aqueduct. For every town and village, there are comprehensive and opinionated reviews of all the best places to stay, eat and sample the local wines, whatever your budget. There is plenty of practical advice on exploring hiking trails, boating on the Canal du Midi and experiencing the Catalan dances of Roussillon.
This guide contains extensive focus and coverage of chambres d'hotes (B&Bs), agencies that list gites accommodation, local festivals and food markets. All this enables visitors to engage with the community and make their visit a more personal authentic experience.
