For three weeks, from June 9th to June 30th, foodies, gourmands, oenophiles, Francophiles and those who believe joie de vivre is just as important as breathing will have the unique opportunity to discover the singular delights and culture of Languedoc-Roussillon. Later in the show, busking bluegrass duo Mountain Animation tear the house down with an incredible live performance.
