Introduction
Roussillon has some of the finest French beaches, a warm climate and clear waters that are thought to promote health: a perfect combination for family vacations.
A mix of family holiday resorts, health spas and ancient fishing villages cluster along the coast, backed by a hinterland of untouched natural beauty.
Roussillon is a land of coastal plains, mountains, valleys and plateaux. The rich variety of the region’s landscapes has strongly influenced the architecture, lifestyle and culture of its people.
Roussillon’s countryside is unspoiled and its coastline protected, but its historic and cultural riches are also stunning. The region is littered with historical monuments, abbeys and castles and boasts several UNESCO World Heritage sites: the Pont du Gard, the Canal du Midi, the medieval city of Carcassonne.
Collioure
Culture
The Roussillon also known as Catalonia is blessed with 300 days of sunshine per year, this most southerly region of French Catalonia nestling on the Spanish border is one that continues to delight and charm every visitor. 'La Cote Vermeille' in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon offers a great deal for the discerning holidaymaker and or property investor looking for a second-home or permanent home aboard.
You will discover an incomparable variety of scenery and many fascinating towns, mountains, plains ancient cities and modern resorts with a dry climate so characteristic of Mediterranean countries.
The coast has long, wide, flat sandy beaches with a complete range of water-sports, golf at St Cyprien and marvellous walking country in the Catalan foothills of the Pyrenees. Along the coast at such old ports as Collioure, Port Vendres and Banyuls, the coast eventually becomes high and rocky as the Pyrenees reaches the sea.
Banyuls
It is a land of many influences and a rich heritage, having been colonised by the Phoenician sea traders and later by the Romans who occupied Narbonne and Perpignan. This has been well restored and is beautifully presented, giving an impressive picture of the local history. Perpignan, 10 miles away is the second Catalan city after Barcelona. A lively city built on the banks of the river Tet, the Old Town has the Palace of the Kings of Majorca. Set in the foothills of the Pyrenees, Ceret is a beautiful market town with a modern art museum exhibiting paintings and works by Picasso, Matisse, Chagall and Dali.
The countryside here is a mass of green vineyards, scattered with small sleepy villages with pastel coloured houses of red and orange. This is France's market garden, producing the earliest cherries, peaches and apricots from as early as April, and is now one of the most highly regarded "new" wine regions of France - supplying one in ten bottles of the worlds wine and famous for its Côtes de Roussillon, Banyuls, Byrrh, Muscat, and Rivesaltes.

Visited by one of our team.
We had a fantastic time and the house exceeded our expectations. The area was brilliant .We particularly enjoyed walking up to the monastery and also meeting with the local bee keeper. Racou beach was excellent for swimming. We would love to return one day.
Mrs D, Dorset
We had a lovely week in Villelongue - thank you! The house was great - well equipped, comfortable, with lots of atmosphere and in a wonderful location. The 3 bathrooms were particularly useful so we weren't on top of each other and I don't think there was anything we needed and couldn't find in the kitchen. The pool area was lovely too and we loved our table and chairs under the beautiful tree (which provided useful shade for a toddler too).
Mrs Mc, London
We had a lovely time thank you. The weather was the best we've had 40 degrees all day -30 in the pool! Needless to say with 6 children between us we didn't venture far as the pool and villa were so tempting! Fantastic fireworks at Banyuls and a couple of lovely evenings again at Collioure.
Mrs L, Glamorgan
We had a wonderful holiday and thoroughly enjoyed the area. It was lovely to be able to walk into the village in the morning to get freshly baked croissant and bread.
Mrs C, Cheshire
We've had a lovely time thank you. Cottage Des Alberes was great, the area couldn't have been better and the location of the cottage was perfect. We spent almost every day at the beach in the morning and by the pool in the afternoon. Loved Collioure a lot! Had coffee overlooking the beautiful sea there almost every morning, followed by swimming, ice creams and shopping. Our holiday was a great success really and we had been a bit worried that it would be quite stressful with 2 small children to entertain. Thank you for the cot/highchair too. My daughter was very happy to find that there were 3 girls in the house next door and we all enjoyed their company very much. They were a lovely family. Thanks again for making everything go smoothly and we hope to return there again soon.
Mrs H, Cheshire
Not all Gite owners have caught up to your standards it seems. Cottage des Alberes was fantastic. It scores a 9, which is pretty damn good in my book. We have recommended your cottage to many people since leaving. Hope to visit again.

We've had a lovely time thank you. Cottage Des Alberes was great, the area couldn't have been better and the location of the cottage was perfect. We spent almost every day at the beach in the morning and by the pool in the afternoon. Loved Collioure a lot! Had coffee overlooking the beautiful sea there almost every morning, followed by swimming, ice creams and shopping. Our holiday was a great success really and we had been a bit worried that it would be quite stressful with 2 small children to entertain. Thank you for the cot/highchair too. My daughter was very happy to find that there were 3 girls in the house next door and we all enjoyed their company very much. They were a lovely family. Thanks again for making everything go smoothly and we hope to return there again soon.

Not all Gite owners have caught up to your standards it seems. Cottage des Alberes was fantastic. It scores a 9, which is pretty damn good in my book. We have recommended your cottage to many people since leaving. Hope to visit again.
