General information
Le Village Catalan is a
small village of 12 houses in the microclimatic foothills of snow-capped
Canigou in the Pyrenees, between the ski resorts and the Mediterranean.
It is known to have the best climate in France, with an average 300 days
of sunshine per year, and it is rich on history, culture and natural beauty.
In the past Vernet-les-Bains has been the favoured health resort of the British aristocracy, witnessed by the extravagant architecture of the casino and the parks. Europe's largest wilderness area, the Pyrenees start just behind the village, with excellent opportunities for leisure activities, from hiking through mountain biking and fishing. A nearby waterfall has been named after the British - Cascades des Anglais. Famous Carcassonne, the tax free mini state Andorra, Spain and the Mediterranean beaches can be reached on day-trips.
Our little village is situated 5 minutes walk from Vernet -les-Bains centre, with all facilities - shops, restaurants and cafés, a sports centre, casino, thermal spa . Le Village Catalan comprises one, two and three bedroom houses on two levels, containing lounge with wooden beams and fireplace, kitchen, bathroom and all are equipped with simple but robust furnishing.
The architcture is medieval Catalan, although it was built in the 1970s - it took ten years to build - and partly refurbished in 1998-2006. Each house is different and half the houses are built in granite stone. Each house has a private, sunny terrace with spectacular, unobstructible views of Vernet Les Bains, the valleys and the mountains. Six of the houses also have a private courtyard.
