Great artists like Matisse, Derain, Dufy, and Picasso found inspiration in the beauty of these picturesque villages along the Vermillion and is reflected everywhere, from Collioure - drawing artists still today - to Ceret, home of the famous modern art museum. Nearby Perpignan has shopping, nightlife and history on a grand scale (from the 13th century, its « Palace of the Kings of Majorca » is the oldest royal dwelling in France), and is a magnificent city just 20 minutes away. Your village home is set near churches, castles, Cathar ruins, medieval fortresses, and intriguing prehistoric sites. Local shops and the twice-weekly open air farmers' markets are wonderful. Enjoy wineries, nature reserves, golf, biking, hiking, horseback riding, Sigean wild animal park, family parks, and Marina and water sports (sailing, skiing, diving, fishing, windsurfing). You are less than 2 hours drive to the ski slopes of the majestic Pyrénées Mountains, Andorra and Montpellier or Barcelona.
