Languedoc Roussillon is huge - stretching from Spain in the south to the Rhone in the East. The region's three major mountain ranges mean that the terrain and climate of Languedoc Roussillon are surprisingly diverse. Such physical diversity has also led, over the years, to political, economic, culinary and linguistic diversity.

If you're looking for a property in Languedoc Roussillon that offers the maximum amount of sunshine, then you'll want to avoid the mountainous areas. Though beautiful, they do attract more rain, even in summer. If you're dead-set on a property in Languedoc Roussillon by the beach, don't forget that much of the coastal area of Languedoc is quite flat and less pretty, and also far more commercialised. Prices are also higher there.

Our recommendation for the best location in which to buy property in Languedoc Roussillon would be the 'foothills' areas (mid-green in the map below) - as they offer the best combination of stunningly beautiful countryside and consistently good weather. The gardens here are also less steep than in the mountains, and the prices less steep than the coastal regions.
