Jardins de la Fontaine are really beautiful gardens. There are many water features, ponds and canals, as well as some remains from the Roman times, and there is a huge area you can wander around and enjoy and just relax. The garden was constructed sometime in the 17th century.

Espiguette Beach

Reviewed By 980ec - Newport Pagnell, United Kingdom

Enjoyed a few hours here in August sunshine. It caters for huge numbers of people but is absolutely vast with safe shallow waters and refreshments nearby. Car park is reasonable for what you are gaining access to, and every time you walk through the entry parting in the dunes it is like Holkham in Norfolk just with warmer and closer water!! Up to my neck in the Med with a huge shoal of small fish rolling with the gentle swell was just wonderful.

Sentier du Littoral

Reviewed By dietero895

We decided to do this walk from Argelès-sur-Mer to Collioure. The route in one word: beautiful. The route is going over the mountains near the sea. So you got a lot of beautiful sights on the sea, coast and the villages around. A lot of the mountains have a sort of stairs so this makes climbing much easier and safer. Tip: instead of taking the bus back to argeles you can take the boat. For 7euro you have a boat back to argeles (duration 15min)

Grotte des Canalettes

THE CAVES OF LES CANALETTES: A MAGICAL DAY OUT! The caves of Les Grandes Canalettes are located at a mere 300 metres from the UNESCO World Heritage medieval town of Villefranche-de-Conflent in the département of Pyrénées-Orientales, and at the foot of the Mont Canigou massif on the road to Corneilla-de-Conflent and Vernet-les-Bains. Come and spend a magical day with the family in one of the most beautiful caves in France. The caves are accessible to the general public but the notion of discovery and adventure are ever present throughout your visit into the bowels of the earth…

Grotte des Canalettes is a cave with a lot of stalactites and stalagmites with wonderful natural forms. It is located in the surroundings of Villefranche-de-Conflent, a walled town in the South of France. I came here with my 4 years old daughter, and after she catched a jacket, we began the visit: great! there are some fantastic rooms with a lot of natural rock formations. She enjoyed a lot seeing the natural forms and discovering them. At the end, there was performed a show with colours and music: very nice! Also she liked very much. Really, a wonderful visit for all family (there are some stairs, so for seniors is a bit difficult).
