Accommodation and Facilities for the apartment in Pyrenees-Orientales, Languedoc-Roussillon, France

Walking, biking and hiking

WALKING & HIKING. This whole area is a walker's paradise whether you're looking for easy, intermediate or challenging levels. 20 metres from the apartment marks the beginning of 5 very different walks. These range from the easy 'Sentiers Botanical' walk designed to display & describe plants and fauna native to the Mediterranean climate to the challenging climb to the top of Pic St Christophe (1,050 mtrs) where you can enjoy stunning views along the Mediterranean coast from as far north as Narbonne down to the bay of Roses, south in Spain. There are many books available describing walks in this area as well as lots of information available from the local tourist offices or organised walking groups. BIKING. For the young & energetic there are dedicated mountain bike tracks (VTT)in the mountains surrounding Montesquieu whilst the windy roads locally attract many cyclists either individually or in groups.

Seaside activities

There are a number of seaside destinations within easy reach of the Apartment offering a variety of leisure activities. The nearest is ARGELES with its 7-km long sandy beach, numerous activities for children and adults, and a 3-km palm-tree-fringed promenade for strolling (or cycling) along. It is listed in the top French 6 beach destinations. A favorite beach is Le Racou which is smaller and the water ivory clear, great for snorkeling and there are a couple of restaurants near the beach. North of Argèles is St Cyprien, which has a 3-kilometre long sandy beach and a pretty fishing harbour with lots of quayside restaurants and boats for hire. Boca del Tech is at the mouth of the river Tech and has a long, sandy beach. To the northern end is Aqualand (water slides).

Arts & Wines

To the south of Argeles COLLIOURE is described as the gem of the Côte Vermeille, and has been likened to St Tropez before it became too famous. It sits in a picturesque cove and has a very attractive port and seaside promenade. An artists paradise, Matisse, Derain, Picasso & Dali Dali figure in the long list of artists who fell in love with Collioure and spent time there. Many artists live in Collioure and there are a large number of art galleries & exhibitions to visit. WINE More wine is produced in Languedoc Roussillon than in any other region in France. Opportunities to taste wine abound, with most wine domaines offering tasting so you can try before you buy. You can stop at the roadside venues to taste the locally produced wines from the barrel or bottle, but you are always expected to buy at least one bottle. If you take a plastic bottle or container, they will fill this with very drinkable wine from 2 euros per litre.
