Creme de Languedoc

A space for you to read - and write...

We think there's virtually no limit to the knowledge  and passions of Languedoc's expatriate community. The combined life-experiences in this sunny corner of France must be enormous - from expert nimble-fingered Horologists to green-fingered Horticulturists. Which is why we've set up this 'space' - an 'open-to-all' reading corner if you will - for all of us to share our Languedoc-related passions and interests with everyone else living in Languedoc. So put pen to paper today - and send us your thoughts.
