“A home from home”

“Location great for walking”
This is the second time we have stayed here. The location is great for anyone who is into walking (or skiing in the winter months) The apartment is well appointed with all you need for a comfortable stay. The lounge, dining area and kitchen have everything you need. There are 2 good size bedrooms and a bathroom with seperate bath and shower. The location is about 30 minutes from Perpignan, so access to the city for shopping or going to a rugby (League or Union) match is fine. We arranged a 4x4 from Villefranche de Confluent to the refuge on Canogou so we can walk up to the top of Canigou. Recomended. The Lac du Boullouse is about 1 hour away but has lots of walks around some stunning lakes and mountains.. Perhaps we will get up Mt Carlit next year. Mont Louis has a small display of a Solar Furnace (Four Solaire) which is very interesting but Odeilo has a much larger Solar furnace you can visit . We also went to the Catalan fortification of Perypertuse. Fantastic ruin high on a cliff. Just a note: If you are walking check your insurance as it may not cover you over 2000m and lots of the walks are over this height.
