Home description
Les Volets Vermeilles is a sunny, bright and welcoming village house in the tranquil heart of Codalet, a small village on the outskirts of Prades in the lush Conflent valley of the Pyrenees Orientales.
Our lovely three-bedroom village house comfortably sleeps six people in a double room and two spacious twin rooms. The private, walled garden with plunge pool (3.5m x 3.5m) and shady patio is equipped with dining table, chairs and sun-loungers.
45 minutes’ drive to the Mediterranean beaches, 45 minutes from the Pyrenean ski resorts (by car, train or bus) and just a 10-minute stroll into Prades itself, Les Volets Vermeilles is a perfect base to cater for all your holiday plans.

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Pyrenees-Orientales region
There is something for everyone in this area of France. The climate is the warmest in the country, with over 300 days of sunshine a year, mild winters and glorious summers. Water from the mountains irrigates the valley, so despite the low rainfall it never looks parched and dry.
The area is peppered with Cathar castles, vineyards, historic towns and spas. Whether you’re looking for sports activities, relaxation, pampering or history, the area around Codalet is full of ideas to inspire your holiday.
Prades / Codalet area
The charming village of Codalet is perfectly placed at the edge of the market town of Prades with the Canigou and surrounding countryside on its doorstep. Cycling trails start here up into the foothills of the mountains and ramblers will love the many signposted walks which criss-cross the region.
Just one kilometre out of the village you'll find the beautiful Abbaye de Saint Michel-de-Cuxa which hosts numerous musical recitals during the summer months as part of the Pablo Casals Festival.
Prades itself is a pretty, bustling town with plenty to occupy visitors. There is a great range of local shops,cafes and restaurants and the square hosts a farmer's market twice a week.
How to get there
Perpignan airport is served daily by Ryanair, BMI Baby and Flybe from the UK and Brussels and is the most convenient airport for Prades. Flights go from London Stansted, Southampton, Birmingham, Bristol and Manchester. Other regional airports are Carcassonne (1 hour 45 mins away), Toulouse (2 hours 35 mins) and Girona, Spain (1hour 45 mins) and are all served by low-cost airlines.
Codalet lies just off the N116, a half-hour drive through the peach orchards and vineyards from the A9 motorway, which passes to the east of Perpignan and the west of its airport. To save driving (and petrol), the Motorail from Calais will take you and your car to Narbonne overnight. It’s then just a one hour drive to Codalet.
Alternatively, nearby Prades is served by local trains from Perpignan, linking it to all major European cities including London via the Eurostar.

Linen & cleaning: Linen and bathroom towels are provided and laundered at no extra cost. The house is cleaned after each let, but we do ask guests to leave the property as they found it.
Children & Elderly guests: As there is a balcony on the third floor, we believe the house is unsuitable for young children. Although the staircases are not steep, the house is arranged over 4 floors so would be unsuitable for people who have difficulty climbing stairs. Children must be supervised at all time in the walled garden/pool area.
Pets: To protect guests who have allergies, we regret that we cannot accept pets in the house.
Smoking: Smoking is not permitted anywhere in the house.
