=Geology of Languedoc= The main elements of the geology and relief of the Languedoc region are:


 * to the north, the Montagne Noire, which is the southernmost part of the Massif Central, a large region of mainly Palaeozoic rocks occupying the central upland area of France, itself a small part of the Variscan orogenic belt
 * In the centre, an east-west trending basin filled with sediments of Cretaceous to Quaternary age
 * to the south, the Pyrenees, a double mountain belt, partly created during the late-Palaeozoic Variscan mountain-building event, and partly during the younger Alpine orogeny.



Geography
