Occitanie's Absolute Essentials

Occitanie showcases a dense concentration of UNESCO World Heritage sites and ancient Roman engineering. This selection spans from the first-century Roman aqueduct of Pont du Gard and the preserved Maison Carrée temple in Nîmes to the fortified Palais des Papes in Avignon. The region’s architectural history is further represented by the red-brick Gothic Albi Cathedral and the Romanesque Basilica of Saint-Sernin in Toulouse. Coastal fortifications like the Château Royal de Collioure and the 240-kilometer Canal du Midi highlight the strategic and commercial importance of Southern France through the centuries.
