Places to Visit
The whole region remains very unspoiled, yet offers a wealth of things to do and see. There are stunning Cathar castles to explore, notably Peyreperteuse, Queribus and Puilarens not forgetting St Pierre in our own village. At Tautavel is a fascinating museum dedicated to pre-historic man and you can view the ongoing archaeological dig on giant web screens.
Fenouillet is just one hour from the beautiful Mediterranean beaches, and one hour from the ski slopes so great in both winter and summer.
The area is famous for some fine examples of roman architecture such as the aqueduct at Ansignan, the abbey at Serrabonne and the thermal baths at Rennes le Bains where you can bathe all year round in hot spas. Perpignan, the very Spanish capital of the region, is an hours drive and the beautiful medieval walled city of Carcas
