Ille-sur-Têt is in the Pyrenees Orientales, the most southerly 'department' in France, which is bounded on the south by Spain, on the east by the Mediterranean, and on the west by Andorra. Hence Sun, Sea and Mountains!
The town lies half way down the valley of the river Têt as it flows from the Pyrenees through Perpignan and from there to the Mediterranean sea. An important town in medieval times, Ille retains many original architectural features and is a few minutes stroll away from Villa le Canigou. Apart from its interesting historical features, the town has a comprehensive range of shops and inviting cafes. It lies in a valley of fruit trees growing peaches and nectarines in the warm rays of the Roussillon sun and the fresh local produce is featured in the two market days which take place in the town every week. Furthermore, Ille-sur-Têt is perfectly situated as a centre for exploring the beautiful landscape and rich heritage of this unique area.
