Walking in the Languedoc

John Cross.

The Languedoc has for too long been in the shadow of Provence. Sharing the same Mediterranean climate and vegetation, it is a quiet, beautiful place which retains more than a hint of the old France.

Within this little known area, the High Languedoc mountains offer wonderful scenery and excellent walking. Although remote, the area is well provided with footpaths on which it is rare to see another person all day. The region is full of variety, with limestone scenery to the north and east; gentle heavily wooded foothills further south; and the warm Mediterranean plain with its lush vineyards.

The book provides walks for hikers of all standards, and being France, a fine dinner awaits you at the end of the day.
