Although Canet has a very famous local history with fishing and the natural wildlife that has made its home in Canet’s beautiful lakes, Canet was developed as a holiday resort from the turn of the 19th century. From this time, with its attractive villas, Canet quickly became the fashionable Mediterranean resort for the wealthy from Perpignan and Roussillon. Today it retains an elegance and calmness above many of its Mediterranean neighbours. Promenading along Canet’s beautiful manicured beaches with the backdrop of The Pyrenees and the view down to Spain is a summer evening custom for the locals and holidaymakers alike. |

The colourful and exotic city of Perpignan is just a 10 minute drive away or there is a bus service if you prefer. Dine and shop in the old city of Perpignan. It is hard to believe how anyone could want more from a city. It is full of sophisticated shops, restaurants, cafes, bars and music clubs. There are many interesting festivals held in the city during the year. The old quarter of the city is home to several multi-cultural food markets and full of fascinating Catalan architecture. The icing on the cake is that almost at every turn, the city is full of exotic palm trees. The surrounding countryside is very lush with rich vegetation, vineyards and several archaeological sights. |

Roussillon, The Med, Pyrenees and Spain. This is a truly superb region for any type of holiday you could wish for and at any time of the year. Roussillon is the sunniest part of France with approximately 320 sunshine days a year with autumn being a real treat and break from the colder parts of Europe. The region is rightly proud of its miles of uninterrupted beaches. Taking a riding lesson on the beach is a real treat. |
