Hi I am a sports loving,Francophile living in Hertfordshire but originally from Yorkshire who believes in the maxim Location Location Location when it comes to owning property. I am the Chief Ops Officer for a law firm with 3 children in their early twenties. I have owned the apartment for 4 years since which time improving my O level standard French has posed a constant challenge.

To me, Languedoc in general and Perpignan in particular is a great place to spend time. It benefits from the Mediterranean climate yet with ready access to the Pyrenees. It is cheaper and more rustic but to my mind every bit as appealing as the Cote D'Azur at the other end of the French Med. Transport links are good thanks to Ryanair, mainly through the growth of Girona and will soon be even better when the rail link to Barcelona is opened. The shabby chic nature of Perpignan itself with its cosmopolitan inhabitants and countless restaurants creates endless interest. The area is a hotbed of both forms of rugby and a short drive or bus ride away are the stunning expanse of glorious beaches at Canet.

The apartment is located in the pedestrian precinct that links the two main squares in the heart of the City. It is situated in a 19th century building along with three other apartments and has many of the features associated with traditional French design ie 10ft high ceilings in the main rooms yet other parts of the apartment via the kitchen and bathroom have been completely redesigned and modernised. It is remarkably quiet given that it is located in Perpignan's main shopping area. The locals say there are about 80 eateries within 10 mins walk.Fabulous France for all tastes.
