There are Spas at nearby Le Boulou and Amelie-les-Bains, a Nature Reserves for bird-watching at Etang de Canet, an Arficaine Reserve at Sigean. Or you could visit the medieval walled city of Carcassonne, or the narrowest gourges in the world - "Gourges de la Fou" at Arles le Tech - this is to name but a few of the many exciting places you could visit if you want more than a lazy holiday gazing at the mountains as you sit on the balconies, on the beach or by the pool.
There is a Guide Book, maps and brochures in the apartment for guests to peruse at their leisure.

Among all the towns of the Pyrénées-Orientales, Argelès-sur-Mer boasts the longest coastline: 10 kilometres of coasts among which 7 are sandy beaches and 3 are rocky coves. The main 'Plage' has been awarded the “Blue Flag” for many years due to its clean sand and water. Alongside the beach runs a superb promenade lined with Restaurants.

Banyuls-sur-mer - Nestling in the foothills of Pyrenees, Banyuls is a charming old fishing village, with quaint narrow streets and excellent beaches. Banyuls-sur-Mer is probably best known in the region for the production of the Banyuls wine. The wines are produced from the vines which cling to the hills around the town. Also at Banyuls-sur-Mer is one of the oldest aquariums in France located at the Arago Laboratory and if you are interested in sculpture then there is the Maillol Museum.
Carcassone - Carcassone is the epitome of a fairytale medieval castle and the entire city is an unmisable place to visit. The fortifications consists of a double ring of ramparts and 53 towers.
Fort de Salses - The fortress of Salses began life as a Spanish defensive structure. It was started under king Ferdinand in 1497 and took several years to complete. However, under the Treaty of the Pyreneees, in 1659 it became French property, as did the whole of Rousillon. The fort de Salses is about 15 km north of Perpignan.
La Gourges de la Fou - Gigantic cliffs of red go up to the attack of the sky. These gorges are one of the narrowest in the world. They are 1700 meters length, by, in places, 250 meters depth, this geological site is very popular and frequently visited. Protected by a metal net and thanks to a footbridge installed over the entire length, all the families can, in full safety, enjoy the gourges.
Barcelona is only a couple of hours away and well worth a visit. It is the second largest city of Spain, and the capital of Catalonia.
