Owner profile
About the owner
My wife and I live in England and love France. We try to spend as much time in France as we possibly can, taking into account our work and family commitments.
Year purchased: 2004
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
Languedoc Roussillon appealed because at the time we knew very little about the area other than that it was steeped in history and, as well as the coast for relaxation, the Pyrenees offered lots of opportunities for walking. It was a marvellous choice and we have not been disappointed!
Unique benefits of the property
We wanted a property that was easy to look after. It also had to be within easy walking distance of restaurants. Port Vendres even in the middle of winter always has restaurants that are open (unlike the beach resorts close by). The fresh fish off the quay is special. The local wines (Banyuls, Collioure etc) are special too. In the summer it’s a very vibrant community. When retirement comes we are looking forward to spending much more time down there.
