Now on to the beautiful villages of Occitanie, France - Food, People & History.
Quite a few departements, or districts, along the Pyrenees mountains and the Mer Mediterranee form what we call l’Occitanie. The weather, the scenery, the food, the people are all beautiful, and it is very rich in history.
So, I chose a few stops along the road that I would love to share with you in this video…
Starting with Limoux, famous for its white sparkling wine, before champagne was even born.
Then Arques, a small village, home to a castle with a main square tower which dates back to the 13th century…
The old bridge of Cassaigne…
The Pierre Lys Gorge…
And this is Villefranche de Conflent, a medieval town with an impressive, rather secure gate to the city, … its narrow streets … totally quaint and picturesque.
This was a station for merchants and traders to calibrate their rulers accurately and sell their goods in all fairness in regard to price and quantity. This particular area lived on the textile industry, canvas, ribbons, iron, and leather.
Not surprisingly one of the most beautiful villages of France, Villefranche de Conflent is also a marvel of military architecture, classified by the UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
I hope you enjoyed this video.
Please leave a comment, make some suggestions on some subjects that you would like me to develop, and give me the thumbs up to keep these videos coming.

That’s it for now!
A big thank you!
Merci. Nous planifions un voyage en Occitanie début 2025. Votre vidéo nous a inspiré.
Merci ! Il y a tellement de villages superbes en Occitanie, tellement d'histoire, ... et tellement de gourmandises !
Nice but very short your video I like it
Thank you! Occitanie is not as well known as Provence or Dordogne, but it is a beautiful area with great weather. I am glad you enjoyed the video.
Beautiful city
Beautiful indeed... Can't wait to go back to the Occitanie region of France!
what are the winter months like? How long, rainy and grey?
The Occitanie area is usually sunny and quite dry. Although it can snow occasionally, that is never a deep snow, except in the southern part of it where the Pyrenees Mountains are. Please bear in mind that this is quite general, and the weather has been so upside down this year ... They have had much more rain all over France than usually. It even snowed in the Alps last week...
