Thirty minutes away to the East are the beautiful beaches of La Franqui and Leucate on the Mediterranean, two hours away to the West are the ski slopes of Font-Romeu in the Pyrenees Orientales. The historic walled city of Carcassonne is only an hour away. All the main Cathar Castles are within easy driving distance.
The Mediterranean coast is only about a half an hour away, with some beautiful coastal resorts going further South, including Collioure which is about 1.5 hours but well worth a visit.
For children there are Aqua Parks on the coast and for the more sporty there are places for water skiing and other water sports activities.
