This area is a walker’s paradise and Le Boulou itself is very close to the famous GR 10 footpath which crosses the Pyrenees from east to west. The colours are wonderful all year and the Canigou Mountain and the Alberes Mountains dominate the horizon. The town itself is a small town with lovely restaurants and bars and a lively street market on a Thursday in the town centre. There are numerous fiestas all year, especially the famous water festival celebrating the towns claim to fame at the hot springs in the town. The town of Ceret with its famous Modern Art Museum is close by and Collioure with its wonderful coastline and fish restaurants is twenty minutes drive by car. Spain, the Costa Brava and Barcelona are within easy reach on the motorway from Le Boulou south and the Cathar castles, Carcassonne, Montpellier, Narbonne and Perpignan, north. The river is just below the house and there is a walkway/cycle path to a swimming lake and a fishing lake just twenty minutes away.
