About the location
Set in foothills of the Southern Pyrenees this area is steeped in history but is also known as a Station Vert because of its amazing rural location and spectacular views of Mount Canigou. Ceret is 30 minutes drive with great Saturday market and Picasso modern art museum. You can sit in the same square as the great master if you fancy. The house is only 8kms from the Spanish border and Figures is 40 minutes away with the Dali museum. Beaches can be found at Collioure, Argeles, Canet or the delights of the Costa Brava are just over the border in Spain.
Falgos golf course is close by where you can stand on the first tee and see the Bay of Roses on the Spanish coast and the snow capped Pyrenees - amazing even if not a golfer.
Swimming pool nearby in St Laurent (summer only) or indoor at Falgos.
Lots of walking on your doorstep and some challenging mountain walks if mood takes you or you can follow some of the designated cycling trails along country roads.
