Southern France, from Spain to Italy, has been the haven for travelers for thousands of years. Modern Times in the South of France start with the history of ancient Greece and Rome, but mankind has lived and worked along the French Mediterranean coast for hundreds of thousands of years , you can discover for yourself.
The Tarn Bridge at Millau
The South of France starts at Millau. The new bridge over the river Tarn has center pillars higher than the Eiffel tower in Paris. The gorges and passes of the Cevennes are a delight to explore, the adventurous can hire donkeys and follow the hoof-beats of R L Stevenson and Modestine.
One hour further South, across the Larzac plateau, past Lodeve, is the Mediterranean. Our home is only ten minutes from Agde, an ancient Greek port. We chose our home carefully, having spent four years exploring many corners of France, before settling in Nizas, one of the smallest villages in Languedoc.
For twelve years we have welcomed many guests to our apartments in Nizas from all over the world. Five years ago we moved a few kilometers South, nearer the Mediterranean in Languedoc, to a larger classic 19th century home in the village of Montblanc and have just opened our new apartments (Gites) and Bed and Breakfast (Chambres d’Hotes) in our home Villa Roquette.
