About our region Argeles-Sur-Mer, Languedoc Roussillon, Pyrenees-Orientales, Dept 66, is situated on the Mediterranean just 40 minutes drive from the Spanish border. This region
boasts approximately 300 days of sunshine each year. The
Pyrenees and the revered Mount Canigou tower as a
backdrop to the resort’s sandy beaches. About one
and a half hours drive takes you up to the ski resorts. If you prefer a more active life-style drive up into the foothills of the Pyrenees for rambling, para-gliding, horse riding etc. There is an excellent golf course at St Cyprien less than 15 minutes drive away. The area has a strong Catalan influence so although in the South of France you will see touches of Spain - frescos of fruit and flowers painted on the outside of some of the buildings and the costumes of the Catalan dancers. From June to September Argeles has abundant street markets with local craftsmen selling their wares, bric a brac stalls, disco and ballroom dancing and shows of Catalan street dancing in the evenings. Many French locals do their weekly shopping on the Spanish border at Perthus or Jonquera to take advantage of the low prices of many goods including alcohol and cigarettes. On the promenade there is a small funfair, several children’s play areas and a casino. There are numerous ‘eateries’ from pizzerias to gourmet restaurants and seafood specialities. The town of Ceret (cherry) is about 20 minutes inland where the cherry trees in blossom during April are a sight to behold. Visit its modern art museum, or the famous Salvador Dali museum at Figueres- less than an hour’s drive. There are several spa villages in the area where people come from all over the world to take ‘la cure’ from the relaxing waters of the thermal baths, supposedly good for skin complaints and aches and pains. Amelie les Bains, a charming village set in the most glorious surroundings of pine forests and valleys, is one such – about 50 minutes drive. For more info on Argeles visit: Check
