Our Region:
Can Llouquette is situated in the province of Languedoc-Roussillon, which includes the department of the Pyrénées Orientales.
This is the southern-most department in France, with sunshine throughout the summer and winter, averaging over 300 days per year! At the heart of it is the famous Mount Canigou - which dominates the horizon from almost every vantage point. You are literally a stones throw from Spain, and wonderful Mediterranean beaches.
Montferrer, our nearest village (at 1.5 miles away), is situated on the flanks of Mount Canigou and only 35 miles from Perpignan.
Perpignan is the capital and has many historical monuments dating from its hegemony as capital of the Majorcan kingdom (1276-1344).
There are many other small towns and famous cities within easy reach of the house: Carcassone, Toulouse, Montpellier, Girona, and Barcelona.
The Mediterranean and Activities in the Area:
Just outside Perpignan, on the Côte Vermeille (this part of the Mediterranean coast) are many beaches and secluded coves: picturesque bays that are quite quiet even in the tourist season.
Following the coast road further south there are many beautiful views continuing on into Spain, and through seaside resorts along the Spanish Mediterranean coast, towards Roses, and the beautiful natural parks and beaches of the Costa Brava.
A holiday in France is for many people synonymous with good food and wine. We think that this area of the Languedoc-Roussillon offers this, and much more.
There is a lot to see and do in our region, and Can Llouquette is the perfect base for sightseeing and more active holidays. Some great restaurants, wine tasting, wonderful markets, cycling, horse riding, golf, the Vallespir Rally, spas, watersports, walking, hiking and climbing, sightseeing and culture here in France or just over in Spain.
Climate:
Our department – the Pyrénées Orientales – is the southern-most region in France, with sunshine throughout the summer and winter, averaging over 300 days per year!
Being 40km (25 miles) inland at the foot of the mountain it's very warm in the Summer (you're almost certainly guaranteed 30 degrees days), but not stifling like many areas of southern France and Spain (which often reach high 30s to mid 40s). The sun is very strong, so bring plenty of sun cream.
Other Activities:
cuisine, wine tasting, sight seeing, Spain, Vallespir Rally, spas, watersports
