Occitanie Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

A Day Trip to Montpellier

Spent my day without school on a quick trip to Montpellier. We went there via bus for just 11 euros. We visited the tourist spots around the city, but was a bit underwhelmed to be honest. I thought there would be more to see, or perhaps was it because it was inter? Overall, still had fun and ate amazing food with great company. Does anyone have some recommendations on things to do in Montpellier?#southoffrance #Montpellier

Visit the Arc de Triomphe in Montpellier.

Visit the Arc de Triomphe in Montpellier. Montpellier Triumphal Arch, also known as Perou Gate, is located at the eastern end of Perou Garden near the city center. The reliefs on the arch display the four major events during the reign of Louis XIV. The surrounding park area is also conveniently located in the city center, next to the metro station. Next to the Peiru Garden, there is a tall commemorative building. Two rows of trees stand neatly on both sides of the avenue. On the other side of the park, located on a high ground, you can see half of the city from here. On the other side of the monument, there is also an abandoned waterway. Under the stone building are beautiful arch bridges one after another. Occasionally, some small markets are held here, and local vendors sell some small trinkets. Both the park and the Arc de Triomphe are free to visit, just make sure to check the opening and closing times in advance. The Arc de Triomphe in Montpellier is much smaller than the one in Paris. The underground is a road paved with ancient bricks, and cars can drive in the middle. Unlike the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, it is not possible to make an appointment to enter the interior of the Arc de Triomphe in Montpellier. As a landmark building, it also attracts a large number of tourists. The Peiru Garden and the Arc de Triomphe are located in the city center and are not far from the art museum and botanical garden.

#celebratewithtrip A MUST SEE during a first trip to Paris! Be sure to use the underground walkway to walk aroundthe monument. Don't try to cross the insane traffic circling the Arch!!! Great to see, got our picture, it is one of those must see if you are there. We didnt go to the top as there was a queue, but it is just as impressive a monument from the ground. It's location at the top of the Champs Elysee makes a visit all the more worthwhile. #paris #francetravel #friendstrip

Visit Carcassonne Castle in winter

Carcassonne stands tall on a rugged rocky hilltop, with uneven and towering battlements, solid walls, and sturdy bastions. Carcassonne Castle, the largest medieval fortress in Europe, has endured over two thousand years of history. It fits most people's perfect imagination of a medieval castle and is an impressive sight. The fortified town is surrounded by two sets of battlements and several stone towers, topped with unique 'witch hat' roofs. The main gate leads to a labyrinth of cobblestone alleys and courtyards inside the castle, which are now mainly lined with shops and restaurants. To walk along the walls, you must purchase a ticket (9.5 euros) to enter the Count's Castle. The Carcassonne Tourist Office operates regular 1.25-hour old town walking tours (adult/child 6/5 euros), but unfortunately, it was the off-season in winter, and I couldn't enter the main castle. An additional surprise was the fantastic Michelin meal I had in the old town, without having to wait or queue.

The Cité de Carcassonne is a medieval citadel located in the French city of Carcassonne, in the department of Aude, Occitanie region.

The inner wall is a Roman-style city block and the outer wall is a Gothic wall. The medieval castle is a solid soup. The shape of the castle often appears in cartoons. Through the suspension bridge, enter the Nabones Bridge Gate, through the ancient street, you can reach the town center, stroll on the stone road in the Middle Ages, or walk around the ancient wall, the deep medieval style can not help but think of the Middle Ages Knight hero. Listen to the locals telling the story of the Romans occupying the castle or other castles, and the beauty and heavenly tranquility of the creation.

The castle was built in 1620. The owner of the castle, Bernard Perutitier, was appointed by the then young French King Louis XIII as the Minister of State Finance, and was highly appreciated by the King, thus opening the glory of the castle. 1910, the last Pei girl in the Peruturian family, Pauler Perutiye, inherited the castle. She then married the Christian Count of Brittany, Christian Rogeri. The manor and the winery have since been marked by Rogery. In 1987, Nikola, the contemporary master of the castle, took over the castle and winery from his parents, continuing the castle that has been inherited for 10 generations and has a history of nearly 400 years. This castle is also open to the world along with its winery.

Thé Pont du Gard is an old Roman Aqueduct hidden in the South of France. If you’re in the area, this needs a visit. Even in the winter, the views were impeccable. The structure is really big and has nice views of the trees, mountains, and some water. During the summer, you can swim in the water as well. There is also an interesting museum nearby that you can enter for free as a student. #Pontdugard #france ##francetravel

In order to build a bath in Nim, where there was no water nearby, the Romans thought of building a canal to divert water into the city. According to the habit, the canal should be buried underground to allow the river to flow, but a certain channel must pass through the Gard Gorge, so in the 30-40 years BC, the clever ancient Romans actually thought of using the most stable arch structure. A stone bridge that flows 46 meters above the river and 269 meters in length across the river flows across the Gard River. The upper layer of the stone bridge is a u-shaped canal, the middle part of which is diverted from the bridge, the middle layer is a stable bridge and a carriage, and the lower layer is added after the Napoleonic period, so the color of the stone can be clearly seen. The entire stone bridge was built by artificially weighing up to 6 tons of giant granite. After more than 2,000 years of wind and rain, it is now possible to walk on the bridge and feel its sense of history. The other side of the bridge walks across the river.

In the evening we live in the city of Carcassonne, about two hours from Collioure a medieval fortress city, the capital of the province of Aude. We stayed at the Carcassonne Relais & Chteaux, a castle hotel with a golf course that has a history of more than 300 years. There are two restaurants in the hotel, one of which is a Michelin star, but it is not coincidental that we were out of business on the same day. We can only go to another one.
