I bought this particular apartment as it is very well located to transport amenities.However, the apartment itself is quiet,overlooking the marina/garden so although public transport is nearby, there is not the usual rushing and noise of passing traffic.
It's a great area for families. With many family centred activities.Numerous shops 2 mins walk from the front door.
More activities and shopping than can possibly be explored in one or two stays.
The mountain valleys are spectacular, particularly in Spring, with plenty of walks all levels, also all areas-along seacoasts to mountain peaks.The nearby bus can, with a connection, take you to the Perpignan airport.It can also take you to the RR at Perpignan where you can take the TGV to Paris/Barcelona. Via train from Narbonne and Montpelier it is possible to connect to many other areas of France. There is water, water everywhere, with a large pool, lagoon and sea. Sailors can hire a boat easily and golfers can try out the challenging St Cyprien Golf Course. Not to mention the numerous seafood restaurants and local produce for 'foodies' . There is also, by the way, a very good selection of gluten free and vegetarian products in the supermarkets and there are in fact, 'Bio' shops around which cater to both person's wanting organic products of all types and those on vegetarian diets.
But what we all like the best is the wonderful blue skies and mild weather. A note on the wind, being near several mountain ranges with wide valleys there is the inevitable Tramontana which does blow, mostly in March and November. This is true for both the north and south of the Pyrenee mountains in this region. However, when it does, the skies are always cloudless and it is possible to find a sheltered area to explore when this happens. Collioure is one such place. Beaches are best visited in the morning and then the pool in the afternoon. For market information: http://anglophone-direct.com/markets-in-perpignan/
