Local guide and map for Self catering and B&B holiday apartments with pool near Ceret, France

Location

Mas Pallares is situated in the lovely Reynes Valley just a few minutes by car from the medieval market town of Ceret and just a 10-15 min walk from the nearest village of Le Pont. As well as Picasso, many artists such as Soutine and Dali have sojourned here because of the remarkable quality of the light. 

As well as being an up and coming cultural centre, there are the usual shops, restaurants, cafes, museums, and art galleries, Ceret is also well known for its vibrant Saturday market, and during the summer months, too, there is a rather arty Tuesday evening market.  Ceret  is at the gateway to the Vallespir - a region of outstanding natural beauty, where lovers of nature may find many  wonderful species of flora and fauna in its forests, including chamois, pole cats and rare butterfies.  

We are about 30 minutes from the golden, sundrenched beaches of the Mediterranean (the Cote Vermeille) and 20 minutes from the Spanish border and the Costa Brava. The ski resorts are about 1 and a half hours away, and for walkers, the Trans-Pyrenean footpath (GR10) is very closeby. There is sailing, scuba diving, canoeing, cycling and much more. If it's nightlife you seek then Perpignan and the coastal resorts of Argeles and Canet are within easy reach. In fact, it is a holiday venue to satisy many tastes.
