The Languedoc-Roussillon / Pyrenees-Orientales region
In the far south of France, right at the gates of Catalonia and Spain lies Languedoc Roussillon and Argeles – the place where the mountains meet the sea. Argeles, has 7 km of sandy beach and 2 km of rocky coastline, with the entire resort and its little port classed as a blue flag area with clean bathing, and a beach which is cleaned daily. The seafront is flanked by 12 hectares of pine forest and a 3km tree fringed promenade. Despite its popularity the region remains largely unspoilt, with over 80% of the land still given over to agriculture. Argeles has two nature reserves: the Mas Larrieu right on the coast and the forest of Massane at the heart of the Alberes area. Just 20km south of Perpignan, in one of the sunniest regions of France, you will find sun, sea, mountains, catalan tradition, gastronomy, vineyards as far as the eye can see and a wonderful quality of life in a beautifully preserved environment. Argeles sur mer is the main town of a group of 8 communes nestling at the foot of the Alberes massif. All the villages have grouped together to bring you many itineraries which take in culture, relaxation and adventure sports. There are itineraries which allow you to discover charming ancient villages, magnificent roman chapels, traditional crafts (glass making at Palau de Vidre for example). There is a railway museum at Sorede, a traditional farm at Saint Andre, the tortoises of La Vallee Heureuse, the eagles at Valmy…lots of visits giving you the opportunity to really get to know the area.
Argeles area
The residence is just 4km from Argeles village and the Mediterranean beaches. The lovely picturesque port of Collioure is 10 km away and the colourful Catalan city of Perpignan just 25km away. The Spanish border is 30km away. Argeles, has 7 km of sandy beach and 2 km of rocky coastline, with the entire resort and its little port classed as a blue flag area with clean bathing, and a beach which is cleaned daily. Argeles is officially recognised in France as a great resort for children with a vast range of activities and attractions. Adults too are well catered for with boat trips, scuba diving, sailing, kayaking, swimming pool, tennis, horse riding, archery, cycling and mountain biking, go-carting, walking, mini-golf, micro-lite flights, canyoning in the mountains and paragliding. During July and August, when the resort is at its busiest, a little tourist train provides a regular service (every 20 minutes) from the residence to the centre of Argeles & the beach & takes away the strain of driving & parking.
