Camping Holidays in Languedoc & Roussillon

At a Glance

Traditional southern France meets quirky Catalonia

...it’s like two holidays in one!

A diverse region with deep gorges cut into the mountains, lakes and marshland that are a haven for birds from all over the world including thousands of pink flamingos, and miles of regimented vineyards bounded by a coast of warm sandy beaches or windy headlands ideal for sports enthusiasts.

Drive inland to explore the ancient walled city of Carcassonne or the beautiful old quarter of Béziers, or spread your wings a little and head into the Pyrénées and Spanish Catalonia.

Feel Languedoc, Nimes

Feel Languedoc and Roussillon

While away an afternoon in a sleepy town square with a full stomach and the sun on your face, breathe in the pure mountain air, crane your neck watching a flock of flamingos return to their marshland home or the fireworks lighting up the night sky, splash through the warm shallows or dive down into the silent marine world below, sniff the air for the aroma of herbs and lavender, savour a local wine and relax.

Taste Languedoc and Roussillon

Taste Languedoc and Roussillon

They take their food seriously around here and meals can have many courses that last many hours. With an abundance of local garlic, olive oil and Provençal herbs available, it is certainly very tasty. Make sure you try everything from cassoulet, Aligot with its creamy, cheesy mash to the fresh oysters and lobster – and don’t forget to leave a space for clafoutis, a sweet eggy pudding or some plump juicy figs, apricots and cherries. Get stuck in!
