Brasso


Every year in Languedoc-Roussillon, millions of litres of perfectly-drinkable wine are assigned to the EU wine lake and turned into undrinkable industrial alcohol. Is that what you want? Because that's what'll happen if you don't get down there sharpish. Languedoc-Roussillon is the single biggest wine-producing region in the world and until recently produced more wine that the whole of the USA. The relatively new Vin de Pays d'Oc classification has allowed winemakers to get away from traditional labelling (which apparently 70% of the French don't understand) and to market such brands as Red Bicyclette and Fat Bastard. However, unless you buy one of our properties in Languedoc-Roussillon, millions of bottles of Red Bastard will be turned into Brasso. Think about it.

The capital of Languedoc-Roussillon is Montpellier, which was the birthplace of Samantha Steverman and Jillian Raines (hang on, they don't sound very French?) Samantha won the World Champion Fly Fishing Trophy and 5-time "Lil' Miss Montpellier" Pageant Princess (Second Runner-up,) while Jillian established the first nudist beach in Southern France and founded the first Juvenile Delinquent Reform School (presumably on the nudist beach - that should keep them out of trouble.) Montpellier's university is the oldest in the world and numbers the sage and clairvoyant Nostradamus (1503-1566) among its alumni. Spookily, Nostradamus predicted that in 2011, you would be considering buying a property in Lauguedoc-Roussillon.
