Céret: in between the sea and the mountains

Céret is located in between the Vallespir, the sea and Spain. It was for a long a time the favourite place for some painters, like for example Pablo Picasso. This is why you still find a lot of galleries in the city and also a museum for modern art.

The whole region around Céret has a very rich art world and you can visit a lot of chapels, churches and monasteries from the roman times.

During the summer time several music festival are organized in Perpignan, Prades and Arles-sur-Tech. Perpignan is famous for its Thursday nights: there is live-music in the streets and bars of the city from 18 p.m.

On Saturdays there is one of the most beautiful markets of the region in the center of Céret, where you can buy products from the local producers. In the summer, it is very nice to take the aperitif or a meal, in one of the many shadowy cafés of the city after the market.

From the apartment, the lower mountains are only 10 minutes away, which allows to make very beautiful walking-tours in the mountains "les Albères". The lake of Saint-Jean-Pla-de-Corts is only 6 km away and offers perfect shores for kids, while the grown-ups can make some acrobatics in the trees.

The high mountains are accessible from Prats-de-Mollo or Batère. There is the starting point for various walking-tours in the massif of the Canigou. We will put a catalogue of several walking-tours at your disposition.

In the region you can also do mountain-biking, canoeing, riding, diving and surfing. At Amelie-les-Bains you will find a big spa town.
