2025 Languedoc-Roussillon Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#5月好去处2025 ✨ Highlights of the tour Enter the medieval castle Carcassonne is most famous for its well-preserved double-walled castle. Walking through the narrow cobblestone streets and 52 towers is like stepping into a movie set. It is recommended to spend some time exploring the wall trails, overlooking the surrounding countryside and deep alleys from a high vantage point, which is very worthwhile. Visit the center of the castle: Château Comtal Medieval armor and weapons are displayed inside, and the corridors and observation decks overlook the entire town. Climb up the castle tower for a more spectacular view of the city walls and suburban scenery. Church tour: Basilique Saint-Nazaire Combining Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles, the stained glass windows and domes are amazing, and it is a must-see stop in the castle. Wandering through the ancient streets: Rue de la Barbacane & Rue de Clos Maille Wandering through the old streets of the ancient city, there are handicrafts and medieval souvenir shops, which are also suitable for buying French desserts or souvenirs; small art galleries and cafes are often hidden at the end of the alleys. Don't miss the local food: • Seasonal only: Cassoulet (baked white bean and meat stew), warm and authentic. • Local desserts: Le Petit Carcassonnais, Les Grès de la Cité and other local pastries, with a rich taste. • Fresh food from the market: Olives, cheese and ham can be bought in the Bistide market area in the lower city. Explore outside the city: Bastide Saint-Louis & the medieval canal in the lower city After leaving the castle, you can stroll along the Pont Vieux (ancient bridge), or walk or ride a bicycle along the canal to enjoy the fields and water scenery; you can also choose to row a boat along the canal. ⸻ 🔎 The essence of the itinerary is not time-based • Medieval fortress adventure: walk into the castle walls, towers and maze-like streets at will, without being bound by order. • Historical and artistic experience: The castle and the church are cultural highlights, and you can absorb rich history by taking a slow tour. • Wandering in the market and alleys: Pick local flavors or desserts as the style highlight of a small trip. • Relaxation in the countryside: The lazy afternoon atmosphere on the river bank outside the city or in the lower city is a perfect contrast to the castle. • Food fusion with ancient flavors: The castle area in the city is paired with medieval soft serve ice cream, lower city food and drinks by the canal, and the sense of time and space is the most vivid. ⸻ ✅ Tips • Transportation: It is convenient to take a train or drive. There is a paid parking lot at the entrance of the castle, and cars are prohibited in the city. • Dressing suggestions: Please wear light non-slip shoes (there are many stone steps on the city wall), hood + light jacket to deal with the wind. • Photo opportunities: Early morning or dusk, when the light is the softest, and the towers, city walls and canals are the most prominent. • Food options: If you want to eat Cassoulet, you can choose a local restaurant, or you can buy fresh cheese and ham at the market and go back to the castle for a picnic. • If you have more time: You can take a tour of the nearby Lac de la Cavayère, or go to a local winery for wine tasting. ⸻ 🎯 Summary Carcassonne is a living medieval fortress, and every step is like traveling through history. It is not only a collection of ancient buildings, but also a wonderful experience of food, culture and nature. Whether you are a history enthusiast, a photography enthusiast, or just like to roam and savor the local customs, this stone tower town on the border between North and South France can bring you full of emotion in a day💫

#traveldiaries Tucked away in the heart of St. Tropez, Allo Pizza is a true hidden gem. I found it incredible that for just €12, you can get a chorizo pizza—such a steal in this part of town! The place has a cozy, rustic vibe with simple seating, making it perfect for a laid-back meal. The owner, a really nice guy named Samson, makes the pizzas himself, and they come out super fast. The service was quick, and the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. Honestly, it was one of the best value meals I’ve had in St. Tropez!

Carcassonne is a beautiful small medieval town, with a very interesting story. I recommend it to everyone with a long connection at the Carcassonne airport. The whole centre is doable in 2/3 hours, there are different attractions and there are also nice restaurants, offering menus at decent prices! 💞Reasons to Recommend: beautiful views. Get teleported to the medieval age.#carcassonne #france Tip: don’t use the airport shuttle (6€). Walk to the nearest Burger King across the back road and board the buses to town at (1€) 🤭😉

#SEASAIRFlightEvent La Bonne Braise is a traditional French grill restaurant located in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. It serves a variety of charcoal-grilled meat dishes and rich French cuisine, and is popular among locals and tourists. With a warm interior, this restaurant is the best place to enjoy French BBQ. 🍷

#europetrip Great lookout spot of the waterfall and spot to picnic down from the parking lot. If you go over the bridge and down a small road to the right and down the stairs, then continue along the river and under the bridge and the aqueduct, you can get to the bank on the other side of the river from the picnic spot and look at the waterfall/picnic on the other side of the river which is a lot quieter.

#europetrip A simple but beautifully preserved site. Inexpensive to visit, but be aware of the 10 minute walk from the car park to get to the site, and the lack of any facilities when you get there (likewise you have to pay by cash or cheque because no internet!). An extensive visit won’t take that long - you won’t need to allow more than 30-60 minutes. The member of staff on site was helpful and was able to explain everything we needed to know in English. We only wish the Auberge next to the car park had been open for lunch during august as that would have been a completely ideal day out!
