Discover the highlights of both Languedoc and Roussillon with stunning photography, colour-coded maps, candid reviews and indispensable practical information.

There's comprehensive coverage of all the urban centres like Toulouse, Perpignan, Montpellier and NĂŽmes, and of course the medieval citadel of Carcassonne.
Throughout the guide there are up-to-date descriptions of the best hotels, bars, shops, markets, cafĂŠs and restaurants, for budgets high and low, and insights into the region's traditions, culture and heritage. We'll lead the way to the best places to tuck into cassoulet, shuck oysters or taste renowned wines such as Picpoul de Pinet and CĂ´tes du Roussillon.
