Hazel and I are semi-retired pharmacists living in mid Wales. We bought the house in 1998 as a bolt hole for ourselves and our grown up three daughters and partners. We chose this area as Perpignan is the sunniest town in France which make it great contrast to Wales! We are both keen cyclists and it is an easy 30minutes ride mainly along flat dedicated cycle lanes to the sea.We have the Pyrenees just behind the house if we want some more challenging rides and often pop over to Spain for lunch. We particularly like visiting in February and March when the hills are yellow with mimosa against a deep blue sky and the fruit trees cover the plain with pink blossom.
