Stretching from the Rhône River in south-central France to the Pyrenees and the Spanish border, it is one of Europe's oldest and most historic regions. Its wonders include the castles of the Cathars; the Carmargue marshes, home to wild white horses; superb Roman ruins such as the arena at Nîmes; and Carcassonne, Europe's greatest fortified town.
