Diversity is Languedoc Roussillon France is so many ways. Comprised of 26 different regions and five separate departments, it's diversity can hardly be in question. It borders the Mediterranean Sea along with Spain and Andorra on one side, while on the other it borders other French regions such as the Auvergne, and the Midi-Pyrenees, and also the Provence-Alpes-Cote and the Rhone-Alpes. Diversity seems to be the main driving spirit of this French wonder.
It's flag once displayed the flag of Roussillon and the cross of Languedoc. But later it was transformed into a flag where these regions were only represented in colors. The Red and Yellow of that flag represented languedoc all it's existing territories that used to be known as the 'Crown of Aragon'.
This French region has been well known for its winemaking for many centuries. It's vineyards span out across 740, 300 acres, tripling the amount of area covered by the Bordeau. It took some entrepreneurs like Robert Skalli and James Herrick to transform it into a more viable wine country. They accomplished this by planting grapes better suited for winemaking and then petitioning for new AOC classifications.
When speaking of this region, you may often hear it called 'France's Sunbelt'. It occupies the space between the Pyrenees and the mountains of Massif. For 150 miles it's coastline stretches out and displays some of the most breathtaking beaches ever existing in France. They get the word 'Languedoc' itself from the old 13th century word for the tongue that was spoken then.
When visiting the region, you'll find there are no shortages of things to do and see. If wine and architecture tickle your fancy, then you won't be disappointed here. And if nudism on unspoiled beaches holds a particular attraction for you, again you're at the right place.
Diversity is Languedoc Roussillon France indeed. It has many treasures in history, scenic views, and points of interest that many are usually quite surprised to find out. They leave with a sense of 'why haven't I heard all this before'. It's been quietly lying there with open arms with anyone who has the good taste to check it out.
