Our Languedoc by rail tour, travelling by Eurostar and TGV trains, offers a taste of all the variety that this beautiful region has to offer. From our base in the delightful southern city of Montpellier the highlights include the perfectly-restored medieval citadel town of Carcassonne, Narbonne, Pezenas, Sete, the walled town of Aigues-Mortes and the Camargue. For 2013 departures, in response to comments from several customers, we have decided to change this tour to 6 nights / 7 days, with a full free day in the middle of the itinerary to explore Montpellier.

Many thanks for a lovely holiday. The tours were excellent and did exactly what your original advertisement said. Steve was a great leader and gave timely and informative talks on the coach. Whilst time was short at most places it gave us a wonderful snapshot of that part of France. We will probably book again with you in the future.

Although this was a short trip, there was a great variety of content - ancient and modern, hills and coast, large towns and small villages.
