Re: Languedoc, Midi Pyrenees or Dordogne
We're travelling to France in September to look at areas for our move next year.
We have narrowed the search down to Languedoc, Midi Pyrenees or Dordogne but thats as far as we've got.
We're concerned about reports of areas being cold and windy and would like to find out more information (as the reason we're moving to France is for a warmer and sunnier climate!).
Can anyone give us any pointers.. we're arriving into Perpignan and have booked our second week in Languedoc but we're not sure where to spend our first week.
We're back in France in January (Limoges area) so we are very open to information.
Thanks in advance

I am going in September 2009 for a second tour of these areas.
Just wondering, did you come to any decisions about moving there?

Re: Languedoc, Midi Pyrenees or Dordogne
We are actually back in Dordogne now.
We thought Languedoc was too expensive to buy (in the areas we wanted) and didn't get to Midi Pyrenees.
We do love Dordgone though. We are in Monsegur and so far so good.

Re: Languedoc, Midi Pyrenees or Dordogne
There are also Monségurs in Les Landes, Lot & Garonne and Pyrénées Atlantiques, but the one in the Dordogne isn't mentioned in my Code Postal book - maybe it's a hamlet attached to another commune?
Or is it Montségur in the Ariège, with the magnificent ruined Cathar castle?

Just up the road, and when you visit you can wash your feet in the thermal spa in Ax les Thermes as well then go gambling in the casino Yeh.

Re: Languedoc, Midi Pyrenees or Dordogne
We went to Roquebrun in Hérault last year and found the area and people charming, although the remote villages seemed desrted, it was out of the tourist season. I just feel that the winters are shorter there and it's not too far from the coast!
Looking forward to another visit

It was my mistake, we are in Monsegur, Gironde. The one that has the weekend of Jazz in July.

Re: Languedoc, Midi Pyrenees or Dordogne
You should come to St Girons, In July the town gets all roads closed to Traffic for a week end and between 8 and 10 stages are put up around the town next to the bars. Loads of music fun evening.
