The Agapanthus of the Albères

In the heart of the Pyrénées-Orientales, Villelongue dels Monts offers a privileged setting for discovering a region where nature is omnipresent. The nearby Albères massif marks the meeting point of the mountains and the sea, providing ideal terrain for hiking or mountain biking, with panoramic views of the Roussillon plain and Mount Canigou. From the gîte, you can set off directly on foot onto the trails, a simple invitation to disconnect. Heritage enthusiasts can visit the Santa Maria del Vilar priory or stroll through the narrow streets of Laroque-des-Albères. A short drive away, the Catalan coast reveals its beaches, notably at Argelès-sur-Mer, while Collioure charms with its colorful port, royal castle, and artistic atmosphere. Further inland, Céret asserts its Catalan identity with its market and modern art museum. Finally, the proximity of Spain allows for wonderful day trips to Catalonia.
