Céret
Céret is a historic Catalan small town, has about 320 sunny days a year and provides a lively calender of musical and artistic events. Ceret is in a fantastic region for outdoor activities - half an hour from the coast, 1.5 hours from ski-ing in winter, great hiking, cycling and walking and there are endless places to explore in the region from unspoilt villages, mountains, beaches, wineries - it is also a 15 minute drive from Spain. The mountain drive at the foot of the Pyrenees along the tech river is spectacular. A well known wine growing region, Ceret is also famous for its cherries, art galleries and many festivals.Despite all this Ceret remains relatively undiscovered. There are countless markets in the region.

Collioure is blessed with a romantic setting. By Mediterranean standards, this seaside village in southwest France should be overrun — it has everything. Like an ice-cream shop, Collioure offers 31 flavors of pastel houses and six petite, scooped-out, and pebbled beaches sprinkled lightly with beachgoers. This sweet scene, capped by a winking lighthouse, sits under a once-mighty castle in the shade of the Pyrenees mountains. Evenings are best here, as the sky darkens, yellow lamps reflect warm pastels and deep blues.
