Occitanie & The Pyrenees
Medieval fortresses and space rockets 🚀🏰
Occitanie & The Pyrenees covers a vast area of southern France, offering a mix of history, technology, and nature. The region's highlight for children is undoubtedly Carcassonne. This fully restored medieval citadel looks like a film set, with double walls and 52 towers. It can be crowded, but the atmosphere is magical, especially if you buy plastic swords and shields for the kids to act out their knightly fantasies. Nearby, the Canal du Midi offers relaxing boat trips under the shade of plane trees.
The regional capital, Toulouse (the Pink City), is the centre of the European aerospace industry. The Cité de l'Espace is a fantastic theme park dedicated to space exploration, featuring real spacecraft, a moon runner simulator, and a planetarium that captivates all ages. Further south, the Pyrenees mountains form a natural barrier with Spain. This wilder mountain range is less developed than the Alps, offering pristine hiking in the Pyrenees National Park and opportunities to spot marmots and eagles. The Cirque de Gavarnie is a colossal natural amphitheatre with a waterfall that is accessible via an easy family hike.
Towards the Mediterranean, the coastline offers long, sandy beaches. The Roman heritage is strong here too; the Pont du Gard is a massive ancient aqueduct where families can swim in the river beneath the arches or kayak through the gorge. The climate is warm and sunny, with the interior getting quite hot in July and August.
Practical advice: This is a huge region, so pick a base. Toulouse is central, but staying near the coast or in the mountains offers a different experience. In the Pyrenees, weather changes quickly, so be prepared even in summer. The food here is hearty, with Cassoulet (bean and meat stew) being a local favorite that fills hungry bellies after a day of hiking.
