Languedoc
landscapes in June: Carcassonne, Berlou, Bages
Today's
photos feature (June 24 2007)
Carcassonne is a dramatic medieval city that can be viewed
magnificently from the auto route, or from many vantage points
around the city. Its fine position, is grand against the mountains
of the Corbieres, and the Montagne Noire. Languedoc vineyards,
with their fine grapes dance around. Buy direct from the vignerons
that grow the vines and support the local wines which continually
surprises by its quality
A view across vineyards near Berlou, near Saint Chinian, and
Roquebrun, to the tantalizing peaks of Gorges D'Heric, over
looking the Orb river valley, with the Espinouse range of
hills behind. Take the small roads to visit Berlou to experience
deep red wines, or scintillating whites, and take advantage
of buying direct from the growers. Enjoy the complexity the
essential mix of the wines of the Languedoc in all their natural
glory
A very short distance from Narbonne - Bages is a lovely village to
visit, with art galleries, fine restaurants, and good walks with views.
Drive across water to nearby Peyriac sur Mer, and swim in salt heavy
water, and float with ease. Walk amongst the little hills and marvel
at Mediterranean views. Bages and Peyriac sur Mer - are secret jewels
near Narbonne, and better known Gruissan.
