Campsites in Languedoc

Sharing borders with the Mediterranean Sea, the Midi-Pyrenees and the plains of the Massif Central, Languedoc, also referred to as the Languedoc-Roussillon region,  boasts an interestingly diverse landscape attracting families looking for camping holidays. Also sharing a border with the Catalonia region of Spain, camping in Languedoc gives visitors a camping holiday experience with some distinctly Catalan cultural overtones.  We offer 3 campsites in Languedoc, Les Sablines, Camping Taxo les Pins and Camping La Palmeraie.

Why Go Camping in Languedoc?

Peaks to Beaches

Holidaymakers to Languedoc will find traditional Catalan villages, pine forests, Mediterranean beaches and rolling vineyards spread across the region. Many campsites in Argeles sur Mer offer direct access to the longest bathing beach in the Pyrenees Orientales region.

Towns and Villages

This region is home to some of southern France’s most attractive towns including Carcassonne, a wonderful fortified town that has been sympathetically preserved. Tourists come to Carcassonne at night to see the medieval site lit up in all its glory. The capital city of Languedoc-Roussillon, Montpellier, attracts visitors to see  Les Jardin des Plants, Le Musee d’Anatomie and the Musee Fabre in the Old Town while children will love Montpellier Zoo.

Eating in Languedoc

As a seaside area, locals in Languedoc enjoy seafood from the Mediterranean. Mussels and oysters feature heavily on the menu.  Fresh produce like mushrooms, berries, honey, pates and goats cheeses are in plentiful supply. For cheese lovers the famous Roquefort is available everywhere, but be careful it can be addictive!

Festivals and Events

Throughout the year Languedoc is host to festivals, fairs and entertaining events. April sees a medieval festival at Sommiers including fancy dress, markets and music. July and August is filled with weekly events including the Montpellier Danse festival to Water Jousting in Sete and Agde.

Travelling to Languedoc

Languedoc and Argeles sur Mer are served by four airports at Carcassonne, Perpignan, Montpellier and Beziers. Girona Airport,  just across the border in Spain, is less than two hours drive.
Self-drive options from one of the channel ports are an alternative to flying with an overnight hotel en route adding to the holiday experience.
