Occitanie is a very young region. Many still say “Midi-Pyrénées” or “Languedoc-Roussillon”, because Occitanie was born from the merger in 2016 of these two large regions. Today, Occitanie ranks among the top 3 tourist destinations in France. It alone brings together all the holiday universes: the countryside, the mountains, the sea and the city with, of course, Toulouse and Montpellier in mind.
Sport clubs and schools are wide spread in the region, with soccer and rugby as the main sports practiced in the region. Montpellier and Toulouse, as the main cities in the region they both have professional clubs competing in the top leagues of France.

Below, some pictures of the region, beside the two mentioned main cities, other spots like Carcassone, with its rampards all around the ancient city or the roman heritage in Nimes, are places that our clients get to see and enjoy in our sport tours in Occitanie.
Nouvelle-Aquitaine not only benefits from a mild and sunny climate, but also from a privileged location, between the Atlantic Ocean, the Pyrenees and Massif Central. Endowed with a beautiful diversity of landscapes, ranging from the famous Bordeaux vineyards to the splendid Pyrenean massifs. The picturesque Basque Country, this magnificent territory in the heart of southwestern France, offers holidaymakers a wide range of activities and discoveries. Rich in remarkable sites, the region can indeed be proud of being home to a multitude of riches, both natural and built, and to combine the joys of the beach and the ocean with the attractions of the forest and expanses of water.
Sportswise, the region is very active. Rugby and soccer are the most popular sports, with plenty of clubs engaged in the regional and natio-wide competitions. Basketball is quite popular as well in the region, and several other sports are, too, widely practiced.
Below, some representative pictures of the region. Bordeaux, Pau and the French Basc country are some of our top spots our clients may visit with our sport tours. But much more is there for our clients to dicover in the region.
The Costa Brava is located in the province of Girona in Catalonia (Spain), in the northeast corner of Spain. It stretches from the town of Blanes, 60 km (37 mi) northeast of Barcelona, to the French border. It is well-known for the many resort towns such as Lloret de Mar and Blanes, but the truth is that there are also many hidden gems on the Costa Brava: picturesque towns and typical fishing villages dotted along the rocky coast.
Its coastline is almost 300 kilometres long and very varied, with wide bays, small coves and high cliffs. The Costa Brava is a diverse region of extraordinary natural beauty and has a very deep artistic and historical heritage.
The whole of the coast is beatiful with a charmy weather throughout the year, and there are plenty of villages worthwhile visiting. Below you can see a selection of pics well representative of it.
The following cases are all sample quotations to take as a reference. Prices will vary depending on the time of the year, the destination, the type and class of the accommodation, and the complementary activities and excursions hired, among other variables.
