About the location

Catllar is an unspoilt village in the Eastern Pyrenees, an area of outstanding natural beauty, historical and cultural interest, delicious food and wine – and sunshine!
 
The Pyrénées-Orientales is the southernmost department of mainland France and its history and culture have been greatly influenced by its close proximity to Spain, yet in many ways it is also quintessentially French. Its landscape displays the same diversity, the rugged snow-capped peaks of the Pyrenees to the south and west contrasting sharply with the gentle fertile plain of the Roussillon with its peach orchards and vineyards to the east, and the blue waters of the Mediterranean beyond.
 
Due to its location it is also blessed with an excellent climate, with high summer temperatures, tempered by cooling breezes from the sea and the mountains, and mild sunny winters. It boasts an average of 310 days of sunshine a year. Indeed, the neighbouring village of Eus claims to be the sunniest village in the whole of France – which is why its inhabitants are known as “lézards” or lizards! So this is an ideal area for spring and autumn breaks as well as summer holidays.
 
The village of Catllar is ideally situated between the sea and the mountains, in the valley of the Têt, with easy access to the High Pyrenees and to the Mediterranean beaches. The region as a whole offers a wide variety of activities for all ages and tastes and interesting and unusual places to visit throughout the year.
 
Catllar is 2.5 kms from the town of Prades, home of the internationally renowned Pablo Casals Music Festival, which is held every year between 26 July and 13 August. There is a baker, post office and weekly mobile grocery shop in the village, whilst Prades has a wide selection of shops, including 2 large supermarkets, a colourful and extensive weekly market, a cinema, and an outdoor swimming pool complex. The nearby lake at Vinça (10 minutes drive), in a beautiful setting beneath the Massif du Canigou, is also a lovely place to swim. There are also several good restaurants in the area, including an excellent and very popular restaurant in the village of Catllar itself.
 
Other local attractions include the 10th century Romanesque abbeys of St Michel de Cuxa and St Martin du Canigou; the ancient fortified town of Villefranche de Conflent (10 minutes drive away) with its impressive ramparts and many craft shops; the pretty hilltop village of Eus; the thermal springs of Molitg-les-Bains, Vernet-les-Bains and St Thomas-les-Bains; the fascinating underground cave complex near Villefranche de Conflent; the Museum of Prehistoric Man at Tautavel; the solar furnace at Odeillo; and “le Petit Train Jaune”, a narrow gauge mountain railway that climbs up into the Pyrenees from Villefranche de Conflent.
 
The ski slopes of Font Romeu and Pyrénées 2000 are approximately 50 minutes drive away, and the mountain resort of Les Angles, set beside a lovely lake surrounded by forest, offers a particularly wide range of summer and winter activities, including an extensive wild animal park where you can see Pyrenean bears, wolves and wild boar. The Spanish Pyrenees and tax-free Andorra are also within easy reach.
 
The Mediterranean coast is an easy 45 minute drive and you will find long sandy beaches at Canet, St Cyprien and Argelès-Le Racou.  The coastline between Collioure and the French-Spanish border is particularly beautiful, with the vine-covered slopes of the Albères range of the Pyrenees dropping away into the sea, creating numerous small rocky coves. Collioure is a picturesque fishing port and resort, favoured by the Fauvist painters at the turn of the last century and dominated by a Templar castle, full of bustle and colour in the summer months but equally delightful out of season. A further half hour’s drive will take you over the border into Spain and to the beaches and pine-fringed coves of the Costa Brava.
 
Perpignan (35 minutes drive) has a historic medieval centre, with narrow winding streets and many interesting shops. It also hosts an internationally acclaimed photojournalism festival “Visa Pour l’Image” every year in the first two weeks of September. Slightly further afield, the medieval city of Carcassonne (1.5 hours drive) and the spectacular Cathar castles of Montségur, Quéribus and Peyrepertuse are well worth a visit. For a wider selection of shopping, restaurants, and cultural activities, the larger cities of Toulouse, Montpellier and Barcelona are all approximately 2.5 hours drive away.
