Our small
house is situated in St Cyprien Plage, close to the Pyrénées and the
beautiful blue Mediterranean sea. It was built in 1990, in a Catalan
style and is part of a residential area called Les Cyclades. The
housing estate has common green areas and about 50 metres from our
house there is a fenced-off area with a swimming pool with a special
area for children.
The house is
about 40 square metres (around 450 square feet) in size and offers 7
places to sleep, distributed over a ground floor and bedroom on the
first floor (click
here to view a detailed plan of the house). The kitchen area
contains a refrigerator with a small freezer, a stove with 4 hot
plates, a microwave oven, a dishwasher, a washingmachine, cutlery
and china for approximately 10 people. In the livingroom there is a
mini-stereo (with a CD, a casetteplayer and a radio).
The
garden is surrounded by a hedge and a stone wall, and has two
terraces (se adjacent photo).
About one km
from our house, there is a wonderful six km long beach. During the
summer it is usually very hot and the weather is perfect for water
sports (for current
weather conditions click here). There are also tennis courts and
an excellent
golf course within walking distance (about one km away).
The town
Perpignan (population: 115.000) is situated 20 km away. There are
several small villages with interesting churches, abbeys, museums
and vineyards nearby. Within one hour's drive you can reach the
magnificent Pyrénées with their fantastic walks, caves, bird
watching stations and alpine skiing resorts. Just across the border
to Spain you will find Barcelona, an approximate 200 km drive along
convenient motorways. The tax paradise Andorra is also within reach
for a day-trip.
Cheap flight
connections from several European cities to Perpignan and Barcelona are provided by
Ryanair.com.
