Occitanie
The Occitanie region, nestled in the southwest of France, is the second largest territory of this charming nation. It consists of no less than 13 departments, each telling its own story: Lot, Aveyron, Lozère, Gard, Hérault, Aude, Pyrénées-Orientales, Ariège, Haute-Garonne, Hautes-Pyrénées, Gers, Tarn-et-Garonne, and Tarn.
This territory is famous for its architectural and historical wealth. It is possible to discover the history of the Carcassonne castle, majestically perched on the heights of the city, the medieval Cathar fortresses, the hanging city of Rocamadour, the illustrious arenas of Nîmes and the majestic Pont-du-Gard. Castles, elegant bridges, arenas and monuments testify to the splendor of a past anchored in the breath of the Occitan language. There are many treasures to explore and unveil here. The region also invites you to explore nature, which, over the departments, reveals its hidden mysteries. The Canal du Midi is an essential passage, ideal for a romantic boat ride or bike ride. The Padirac chasm, with its dizzying abyss, reveals the splendor of the waters that have found refuge there. For those in search of altitude, the ascent to the Pic du Midi or the contemplation of the Cirque de Gavarnie will offer you a spectacle that is sometimes snowy, sometimes verdant, that will capture your soul.
