Go Languedoc: South of France holiday villa rentals & tourism

The Languedoc region of France is a popular French holiday destination, with long sunny days, Mediterranean beaches and plenty of tourist facilities. The Languedoc is also home to thousands of miles of walks and bike rides; National Parks and wildlife reserves (such as the Camargue and the Cevennes); thermal springs and spas; grottoes and caves; and plenty of ancient historical sites covering the whole of the Languedoc's long history. All in all, you are not going to be short things to do in the Languedoc region of France, if you are visiting on you holidays.

If I was to rank my favourite things to see in France, outside of Paris of course, then this would be my top twenty tourist sites. I am not saying that this is a complete list, but I think that this is a pretty good list of things to visit if you are in France on holiday in 2018.

Pezenas is without doubt the most beautiful town in Languedoc, if not the whole of South France. The best time to visit Pezenas is in the height of summer during the regular Friday night Estivale when all the shops in Pezenas stay open late, local vineyards are selling their wine on the streets and the old town is buzzing with life.

We have picked out the best French villas with private pools on Go Languedoc to rent during 2018. At Go Languedoc, we personally visit all of the advertised French villas to check that the details are as accurate as possible. We also have a good understanding of the local area and attractions.

From my perspective, there are two standout restaurants in the South of France: the Mirazur in Menton and the Auberge de Vieux Puits in the Corbieres. These two restaurants stand as bookends - both physically and figuratively - to the other restaurants in South France.

I have lived in France for over 10 years and I am always looking for some new interesting places to visit in France with the kids. If you are planning a trip to France during 2018, then this is a pretty good list of 15 interesting places to visit.
