At the lake in Vinca (only 7 minutes away by car or 30 minues on foot) you can swim, sail or windsurf from the beach area (the lake is fed by water and melting snow from Mount Canigou). Prades and Ile-sur-Tet, two nearby towns about 10 minutes away by car, hold regular lively markets. They are the perfect place to buy the local fresh fruit and vegetables including the delicious peaches and cherries which grow in the region and of course the all important French cheese and wine! Both towns also offer a selection of shops including well-stocked supermarkets, bars and restaurants.
If you fancy a trip into the moutains, the famous 'Petit train jaune' with its open carriages winds its way through narrow gorges and across high viaducts, providing breathtaking views of the Pyrenees. You can catch this train from Villefranche de Conflent -a beautiful walled medieval town just 25 minutes away.
