Languedoc - the coastal plain around Montpellier that links the Rhone Valley with Toulouse and Spain. appears in various local dialects.
For quantity, though not for quality, this is the foremost wine-growing region of France. The climate is mild. The Government has embarked on large development schemes - for a new irrigation network, and for turning the whole flat, marshy coast into one long lido.
Montpellier, however, is still a slow, delightful university town. The port of Sete, where Valery wrote Le Cimetiere Marin, has canals enlivened by coloured fishing-boats and lined with excellent shellfish restaurants.
The drawback to Languedoc is that in summer the traffic along the one main through-road is dense.
