Description

This Rockfax Guidebook describes some of the popular sport climbing and some trad climbing in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of southern France. This area is to the west of Avignon and stretches to the Spanish border, including the cities of Mines, Montpellier and Perpignan. In total 17 different climbing areas are described with over 3,000 routes across a wide range of grades and styles.

1. The Ardeche area: Chaulet Plage, Mazet Plage, Actinidias, Le Cirque des Gens, and Les Branches.
2. The Tarn area: Gorge du Tarn area, Gorge de La Jonte, Le Boffi, and Cantobre.
