Half-way up Languedoc's Pyrénées, Villefranche is a fortified village - with huge, thick, maze-like fortifications surrounding the entire town.

 

French crepes and wine!

cherry-blossom trees everywhere
Les Orgues de Roussilon. Spectacular clay cliffs near the town of Ile-sur-Tet in the Roussillon area of southern Languedoc, that have been sculpted by wind and rain - forming strange organ-like shapes.
