Languedoc-Roussillon is found in southern-central France, along the Mediterranean coast and stretching inland. It reaches Spain at its southern border and Provence on its eastern border.
The region falls into three distinct areas with different characteristics:
the Pyreneean region to the south, stretching along the border with Spain and into the eastern Pyrenees
the central part of the Languedoc (Aude and Herault departments) around the medieval architecture of Carcassonne and the cathar castles and traversed by the Canal du Midi. Several well known wines are also produced in this region.
the northern part of the region (departments of Gard and Lozère), including a large part of the wild National Parc des Cevennes.
