Languedoc Castles to Roussillon Coast
Head south from Montpellier to Perpignan, connecting canals, Cathar castles, and the small port of Collioure.
Travel south from Montpellier along the Mediterranean, visiting Sète and the Fonseranes Locks, then head inland to stay in Carcassonne. Drive through the Corbières mountains to visit Peyrepertuse and Quéribus castles, and finally reach Collioure to ride the Yellow Train. This region has fewer tourists than Provence, though the castles require uphill climbs. Ideal for second-time visitors to the South of France who love history and wine regions; a rental car is required.
Carcassonne and Collioure are crowded in July and August; hilltop castles are highly exposed to sun and strong winds.
