Ideally situated halfway between the mountains and sea. The apartment is on the ground floor of a large detached villa standing in its own grounds with orange, lemon, grapefruit and fig trees. A terrace provides an attractive, secluded eating area with barbecue. There is a swing, rings and a rope ladder for children. Laroque is a charming village nestling in the foothills of the Pyrenees. The nearby Mediterranean coast has several resorts, Argeles, Canet, St.Cyprien and Collioure. Spain is 1/2 hour's drive away with the famous Dali museum at Figueres and some super golf courses. This is a truly delightful part of France, the grandeur of the Pyrenees contrasting with the sparkling blue of the Mediterranean. Andorra is just over 2 hour's away after a spectacular drive through the mountains. The Cathar castles of Queribus and Peyrepertuse are worth a visit as is Rennes le Chateau (featured in the Da Vinci Code!) The airports of Perpignan and Gerona are within 1 hour's drive.
