Michelin Green Guide Languedoc Roussillon Tarn Gorges

From the Michelin Green Guides series.

From the majestic unspoiled landscapes of the Pyrenees to the popular seaside resorts of the Mediterranean; from the rugged plateaux of the Cevennes to the rolling green hills of the Gers, set out to discover a region full of life, a balance of the peace and quiet of the countryside, the influence of spirited Catalonian traditions and legends of courtly love and troubadours.

Two cities serve as focal points for a holiday tour: Montpellier la blanche and Toulouse la rose. The region is also home to unique natural phenomena: the spectacular Tarn Gorges, the great natural amphitheatre known as the Cirque de Gavarnie, the Pic du Midi de Bigorre summit, innumerable caves and caverns, high, arid tablelands cut with steep-sided canyons and the rocky "Vermilion" coast. History has left its mark in the stark ruins of formidable Cathar fortresses, the fortified bastide towns, the lovely Romanesque abbeys of Conques, Moissac and St-Martin-du-Canigou and the pilgrimage centre of Lourdes. As you travel, you will stop and savour culinary specialities beyond compare: cassoulet is the most famous local dish, and among the renowned regional cheeses you may enjoy Roquefort, Bleu de Causes or Cabécou with a nice glass of Côtes du Roussillon or perhaps a sparkling Gaillac. Relax in this hospitable southern clime, where the stone houses of the villages seem worn smooth by the sunshine, where time passes just a bit more slowly, to better enjoy the pleasures of the place.
