5 Reasons to Visit the Languedoc-Roussillon in December

1) The Marché aux Truffes in Villeneuve-Minervois

2) Cassoulet.  When the cold winds blow, there is nothing better. 


3) Vin Chaud.  Same as above.

4) Quiet, sunny seaside towns.  The perfect place to enjoy a leisurely lunch of moules frites and a bottle of Picpoul de Pinet.


5) It's the south of France!  Any time of year is a good time to visit. Pin It

Pulling Mussels (From the Shell)

Went off to the seaside today to enjoy a beautiful, sunny day. It was almost 70 degrees in the sun so we soaked up as much as possible!
Ate steamed mussels with fries (moules frites) and enjoyed some Picpoul de Pinet wine.
