South of France (Girona Airport) holidays

Tucked between the mountains and the Med, this sun-kissed slice of southern France reveals a more laidback side to the country. Forget the polished promenades of the Riviera, the Languedoc and Roussillon region reveals sun-drenched vineyards, medieval hilltops and quiet coves. You’ll fly into nearby Girona Airport before crossing the border for true French flair! History-buffs can explore ancient fortresses, while foodies will enjoy the freshest seafood and a chilled glass of locally grown wine. From lavender fields to salt flats, this is southern France at its most authentic.

Languedoc

Lovely Languedoc is made up of verdant vineyards, medieval villages and sparkling Mediterranean beaches.

Roussillon

A stay in the southern French area of Roussillon means you’ll get the best of both worlds, with Provence’s lavender fields on one side and cool Catalonia on the other.

Head for the hills

Between verdant vineyards and hiking trails, southern France’s countryside opens the door for so many adventures. Sleepy stone villages give a flavour of local life, while centuries-old castles take you back in time. Why not pull on your boots and walk through lavender-scented fields or hike the Pyrenees?

Down by the coast

The busy beaches that line this region’s shore are tailormade for sunbathing and sandcastle building. You’ve got golden stretches down by Narbonne or hidden coves in Collioure. Surf fans can catch the waves in Tramontane before pitching up in a beachside café for some post-surf grub.

Savour the flavours

Pick up creamy goat’s cheese from a village market, sip deep red Corbières wine at a vineyard or linger over fresh seafood with coastal views. And with ice cream stands and open-air markets, even the little ones will find something to enjoy.

Sights

From history-filled old towns to fairytale fortresses, the South of France is chock-full of sights that will delight young and old. Fire up young imaginations at the castle walls of Carcassonne or Béziers’ ancient towers, then wander through lively markets or stop for ice cream in the village square.
