Just 20 miles from the Mediterranean, this cottage is on the edge of the Pyrenean town of Céret, not far from the spectacular bridges over the river. Céret is a small friendly town, where both French and Catalan can be heard in the not-to-be-missed Saturday market. Spend time in the pavement cafés, discover the old medieval streets, the restaurants, the wonderful galleries, and museums; and wander along the lovely Tech valley, which winds up to the highest southern Pyrenees peak of Canigou, often snow-covered. Ideally situated for the Cathar castles of Languedoc, Mediterranean beaches, forested walks of the Pyrennes (from the town - just walk uphill!), you can explore the wine tasting in the surrounding vineyards, the artistic centres of Collioure ( 30 mins), Figueres (close enough for supper or the Dali Museum), shop in Perpignan, or Barcelona is only 2 hours away. Various extreme sports are available in this area for the more energetic. But adventurous or lazy : it's a perfect place
