The Languedoc-Roussillon / Pyrenees-Orientales region

There is a very high Spanish influence throughout the region. In medieval Perpignan, once the capital city of the Kingdom of Majorca, the Palais des Rois de Majorque (Palace of the Kings of Majorca) typifies the strong Spanish heritage, as do many of its churches and forts.

With over 300 days of sunshine every year, the region is excellent for artists. Many famous artists have visited over the years to take advantage of the light quality, including Picasso who created works for the local museum in Ceret. The works of Salvador Dali can be seen just over the border at Figueres and Pubol.

Several of the towns in Languedoc-Roussillon, such as Le Boulou and La Preste les Bains, boast thermal springs and spas where many people come to "take the waters".

The Côte Vermeille, or coastal region, has many varied towns from the small fishing villages of Collioure and Port Vendres to the larger beach resorts such as St. Cyprien. In addition, the impressive Pyrénées, with the sacred mountain of the Catalans, Mount Canigou, stand guard over the region.

St Laurent de Cerdans area

Although a quiet mountain village, there is plenty to see and do in and around St. Laurent de Cerdans. The village boasts a cinema, folk museum, swimming pool, tennis courts and boules. You will also find many kilometres of marked paths, as well as horse-riding facilities.

Only 10 minutes away is the superb golf and spa facility, Domaine de Falgos, which also has a very nice restaurant. The golf course is over 1100 metres above sea level, affording spectacular views across the valleys below. At Prats de Mollo (20 kilometres away), there is an outdoor activity centre for the more adventurous.

St. Laurent de Cerdans has a long history of textile production and is most famous for its Les Toiles du Soleil fabric which is manufactured in the traditional manner and now marketed throughout the world. The factory has a lovely shop where you can buy souvenirs.

Another place to see is the Gorges de la Fou which is the narrowest gorge in the world with sheer drops of 200m in some places.
