More DescriptionRespected cultural travel guides featuring Michelin stars and tours. This completely revised new edition features the best of Languedoc. The language of Oc (Langue d'Oc) was the language of the troubadours. As you explore this region in the footsteps of these wandering poets you tread among Pyrenean mineral springs, peaks and valleys; past pre-historic monoliths, bastides and Armagnac country bastides; past Catalan Romanesque architecture; along the ancient Papal route of the Via Domitia; and ultimately into Cathar country, the heartland of the Christian sect eradicated by the bloody Albigensian crusade. Tours, maps, full-color photos, illustrations and plenty of new content help you to explore the region, while Michelin's celebrated star-rating system and respected maps make sure you see the best on offer.
