Jenny comes originally from
the West Midlands so you'll have no language problems at Reception!
The site, just 10 minutes walk from a gorgeous, long, sandy beach, has superb
facilities. These include a restaurant and snack bar with take-away service, a
shop (fresh bread every morning), laundry, library with English books and
internet access, children's club and a lively bar with a full entertainment
programme for all the family.
A new pool complex was completed in May 2009. It is a larger addition
to the existing pool and its design makes it very attractive to families
with small children.
It has numerous water features including a small
island accessed by a bridge, 3 cascades, water jets and a whirlpool, and it
shallows to nothing at one end for very small children.
Both pools are
heated throughout the season. Surrounded by palm trees and with ample free
sun loungers and pool furniture, it is an ideal place to relax with a drink
from the poolside bar.
Local Area
As well as offering easy access to the nearby beach, Le Pre Catalan is only a
few kilometres from the lakes of Leucate and Salses where various water
activities are very popular. For walking enthusiasts the foothills of the
Pyrenees are only a short drive away.
Perpignan offers great shopping and sight seeing, and the Old Town is a great
place to dine with plenty of reasonably priced restaurants. If you've never
tried escargots, this is the place to do it. Catalan-style snails come covered
in garlic! Salted smoked hams, richly stuffed sausages, salted or sugared
flatbreads and nougat are other delicious local delicacies.
Alternatively you may choose to have a day in Spain. The border is only a 40
minute journey away and Barcelona is a comfortable 2 hour drive.
A variety of cheap flights can be booked direct to Perpignan itself or
Barcelona - Gerona Airport (1 hour), Barcelona (2 hours), Carcassonne, (1 hour),
Toulouse (2 hours), Montpelier (1 1/2 hours) and Beziers (1 hour). We've used
all of these routes and have found them to be very convenient.
