wine region in

Southern France

Languedoc-Roussillon is the largest vine growing area in the world. From the Rhône to Spain, the wine region is several times bigger than the Australian wine region or Bordeaux.

The main grapes used in Languedoc Roussillon are:

- Red: Carignan, Cinsault, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot have replaced other mediocre grape varieties such as Aramon and Alicante.

- White: Viognier and Chardonnay have been introduced with success in Languedoc Roussillon. Chardonnay is now the most widely used grape in the region.

- Sweet white wine: Muscat blanc, Muscat romain or d'Alexandrie and Grenache

Today the wine makers selected the best vineyards and decided to go for quality.

Today, Languedoc Roussillon is one of the most successful wine regions in France.

Lasagne is both a form of pasta in sheets and also a dish, sometimes named "lasagne al forno" (oven-cooked lasagne) made with alternate layers of pasta, cheese and often tomato sauce or meat sauce. While it is traditionally believed to have originated in Italy, evidence has come to light suggesting that a very similar meal known as "loseyns" was eaten in the court of King Richard II of England in the 14th century.

Loire Valley (French): Vallée de la Loire) is known

as the Garden of France and the Cradle of the

French Language. It is also noteworthy for the

quality of its architectural heritage, in its historic

towns such as Amboise, Angers, Blois, Chinon,

Orléans, Saumur, and Tours, but in particular for

its world-famous castles, such as the Châteaux

d'Amboise, Château de Villandry and Chenonceau.

The landscape of the Loire Valley, and more

particularly its many cultural monuments,

illustrate to an exceptional degree the ideals of

the Renaissance and the Age of the Enlightenment

on western European thought and design.
