We're based in the town of Limoux. Located in the Pyrenees foothills of the Languedoc region of southern France, Limoux's medieval streets offer almost every commercial amenity while maintaining the simple, unspoiled charm of a traditional southern French town. The central square, the Place de la Républic, is home to cafés, restaurants, pastry and bread shops, and a variety of other food and specialty shops.

The Languedoc Region

The French know Languedoc as "La Petite France"—within its relatively small area you'll find every type of geographical feature existing in the rest of the country. Limoux is the hub of the Aude River Valley: travel to the east and you'll reach the white sandy beaches of the Mediterranean; to the south, the high Pyrenees, and the frontier with Spain; to the west, the Toulousean plain; and to the north, the Cévennes forests.

Everywhere around Limoux, you'll find vineyards, sunflowers and more wild flowers than you can imagine—wild thyme, rosemary, bright red poppies, and lavender.

Weather

The weather in Limoux is delightful and the summer evenings stay pleasantly warm. With more than 300 days of sun per year, rain is the exception. April through October temperatures generally range from 65º to 85º Fahrenheit, (20º to 30º Centigrade) with occasional days of 95º (35ºC) in mid-summer.
