If you like your nature untamed then come and explore the wild countryside of the Languedoc Roussillon in France. With the Pyrenees to the south of the region and the Black mountains to the north there are plenty of options for the adventurous. What you might not realise however is that there is plenty of beauty to take in if you fancy a more sedate experience. As well as rugged landscapes there are also a number of well tended and exotic gardens here.

The Jardin aux Plantes de La Bouichere in the town of Limoux is just one example. Situated about half an hour from the famous city of Carcassonne this private garden is run by M and Mme Gerber who have been lovingly tending this two hectare site for the last twenty five years. With over two thousand plants you can be sure to be surprised and impressed by at least something!
