Go Languedoc: South of France holiday villa rentals & tourism

If I was to rank the best places in France to visit, outside of Paris of course, then this would be my top 15 places to visit. I am not saying that this is a complete list of the best tourist places in France to visit, but I have lived in France for over 10 years and before that I have toured around France quite a bit, both on holiday and with work. Some places I have not visited yet, for example, Strasbourg, Lille (only the Eurostar train station), Bordeaux (yes, I know it is shameful that I haven't been there) and Grenoble; and other places are affected by my experiences there (getting my iPhone stolen in Orleans for instance). But looking through it, I think that this is a pretty good list of the best places to visit in France whilst you are on holiday.

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.
