Anneke Koremans
Many people come to this region to enjoy the scenery, the many historical places and the wonderful weather. However, people often go back home without having seen much of this unique part of France. They missed the secrets, the unknown places. The Languedoc-Roussillon and Midi-Pyrénées are known for its special culture, its Cathar castles, its Templar history and the enigma of Rennes-le-Chateau. But there is much more to be seen, for you have come to a unique place in Europe. Whether you choose one of the tours mentioned below, or would like to create a special tour suited to your wishes, I can show you the region in a way no travel book can.
