When we moved to France, more specifically Pezenas in Languedoc, the South of France, over 15 years ago, it seemed hardly anyone had ever heard of the place. Apart from flooding the world with wine and being a highway for hoards of invaders for centuries from Hannibal to the Vikings, Languedoc was the South of France you found by mistake if you turned right at the bottom instead of turning left for St Tropez.
Now Languedoc is opening up to the world and has everything in place for the discerning traveller.
Our local airport at Beziers links to many major hubs in Europe, today I found I can fly via Bristol to San Francisco for 659 pounds Sterling, including 4 nights at the Fishermans Wharf Holiday Inn hotel – Carole has always wanted to go to San Francisco (and St Petersburg and Cairo) – so maybe next year if Villa Roquette had a good year and we canmakethe time.
