Regions of France : Languedoc-Roussillon

Regions of France : Languedoc-Roussillon
Although not as well known as Paris and Marseille, Languedoc-Roussillon is a region full of diversity. Its prime position in the south of France overlooking the Mediterranean blesses the region with charming beaches and fishing ports. Further inland, ancient castles and structures can be found, buried within the rolling mountains. Yet during ski season, the Font Romeu-Pyrenees slopes are blanketed with soft white snow. It comes as no surprise then that both Matisse and Picasso came to region precisely for its vibrant landscapes.
