The Midi-Pyrénées and Languedoc-Roussillon Sights

France's largest region, Midi-Pyrénées spreads from the Dordogne in the north to the Spanish border along the Pyrénées. Radiating out from Toulouse to the countryside town of Albi and up through the Ariège Valley into the Pyrénées Orientales, the central and southern parts of the Midi-Pyrénées are rich in history, natural resources, art, and architecture. Languedoc-Roussillon extends west to east from Carcassonne to the Mediterranean. South to north, it ranges from Collioure through Perpignan, Narbonne, Beziers, and Montpellier, all once part of "French Catalonia." Montpellier is at the dead center of the Mediterranean coastline, a five-hour train ride from Paris and Nice, as well as from Barcelona.
