The area
The region around Perpignan is of great interest, here you can combine a beach holiday with excursions to see some of the lovely old towns and explore the foothills of the Pyrenees. Collioure, Port Vendres, the old heart of Perpignan, especially around the Place de la Loge and the Cathedral are well worth a visit.
Villefranche is a interesting town, from there you can take the "Little Yellow Train" for a fascinating trip to the Pyrenees. The delightful old village of Leucate has a regular market with local produce and in the village, in Barcares, St Laurent & Fitou there are good restaurants. There is a swimming pool nearby and in Port Barcares there is a sea water Thalassotherapy treatment centre.
In July and August many French families arrive and it becomes a very popular and lively holiday resort.
