Aude is located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees mountains and is part of the Languedoc region. It is renowned for its history and its historical places (especially the Cathar castles and fortified villages), its vineyards and excellent wines.

Great for spectacular scenery and the outdoor lifestyle. You can take part in all sorts of sports rafting, climbing, cycling, walking and rambling, fishing AND it is only 1 hour to the ski slopes- the list is endless.
