Things to do in the region:
The possibilities are endless. Whether you like sea, mountains, history, sport or just to relax and people watch, it is all here. The large, well-known, beach resorts of Canet Plage and Argeles offer sand and safe bathing while the smaller, more individual resorts of La Racou and Collioure each offers its own unique charm. All beaches are between 35 to 45 minutes drive of the apartments, and a further 10 minutes drive will take you to the Spanish border. The spectacular Pyreneen Mountains to the west of town can be accessed by good roads or rail. However, Ille-sur-Tet, itself, is surrounded by breathtaking scenery and picturesque walks. Its twice weekly market offers visitors the chance to sample local produce and wines. The bustling cosmopolitan city of Perpignan is just half an hour away and can be accessed by car, bus or train.
