Must-see stops

On the Occitanie Rail Tour

Sprawling countrysides with the Canal du Midi, Canal de la Robine and Rhône in Sète running through them; criss-crossed by the Ways of St James and peppered with churches, abbeys and little stone bridges; watered by stunning valleys made for canoeing and climbing.
Mountains that attract athletes, skiers and hikers to their year-round playgrounds alongside visitors who love lofty villages and hilltop châteaux.

Then there's the Mediterranean of course, Côte Vermeille and Sète coast along with lagoons and inland seas such as Thau, Leucate and Bages-Sigean; the perfect sea to unwind, sample fresh seafood in the ports, go diving, try water sports or meet the wildlife.
