The climate of the southern Languedoc-Roussillon is perfect for tennis and is Mediterranean, with the same vegetation and proximity to the sea and the mountains - the Pyrénées, rather than the Alps. This area, particularly the Roussillon, is as influenced by Spanish language and customs as Provence is by Italian culture. more photos
