The house is equipped with everything you need (for 8 persons). You only have to bring along towels and, of course, personal stuff. The villa is situated in Cebère (in Catalan: Cervera) in the district of Pyrénées-Orientales in the region of Languedoc-Roussillon - only 4 kilometres from the Spanish border. The region of Languedoc-Roussillon is one of the sunniest and hottest areas in France. The weather is nice from May to October, and the region has 320 sunny days a year. Still, only few tourists visit the area, making this part of the region a perfect holiday destination. The surroundings are formed by a rich landscape with orchards, wine yards and cypresses, with charming small villages between the medieval castles and the Pyrénées. Both the food and the wine are French and very good in Roussillon. In the area you will find colourful yachting harbours, fantastic golf courses, some overlooking the Mediterranean and the mountains. The place has unforgettable diving spots (with caves etc.), and there are diving schools in most of the seaside towns, including one in Cebère that has its own salt-water pool and boat. You can also choose to sail or surf - or you may explore the Pyrénées - on foot by mountain bike or 4X4 (be sure to bring water and compass). In the neighboring towns there are restaurants with Michelin stars and casinos. You can also spend a day on horseback or take a trip with the famous yellow train leaving from the medieval town of Villefranch-de-Conflent continuing through the Pyrénées to Andorra. Or what about a travel in time to the Middle Ages? Visit the castles (e.g. Carcassonne castle) and the surrounding villages, rich in culture traces of bothFrench, Spanish, Roman and Moorish origin. In addition, the Pyrénées offer incredible stalactite caves, some of which are enormous. In the winter, the Pyrénées offer some of the very best skiing destinations, and visited by far less tourists than the Alps.

Trips to Spain or Andorra can also be made, among other sights you can visit Salvador Dali's native town, Figueres, which is located about 30 kilometers drive from Cebère. If you fancy Formula 1 Barcelona is only 170 kilometres away. You can use e.g. www.mappy.com to find your way. Roussillon offers kilometres of beautiful sandy beaches facing the azure Mediterranean. In this southern part of South France you are far away from the touristy glamour, the excessively high prices, the noise and the pickpockets that you come across in the French Riviera (Monaco, Nice and Cannes).

When you travel around in Roussillon in the areas near Cebère you will find an impressive coastline with little bays and bathing beaches with pebbles. Cebère is small and cozy and can be dated back to Roman Period. The neighbouring towns on the French side are Banyules sur Mer (where you can rent boats and jet skis), Port Vendres and Coullioure, and Portbou on the Spanish side. Roussillon was administrated first by the kings of Aragon and later by the Spanish Kingdom until 1659 (except in the period between 1463 and 1493). Since 1659, according to the treaty of the Pyrénées, France has controlled the land. The long version: A long time ago, the valley of Cerbère, was covered by forest, and wild life. Ancient writings of Greeks, like Strabon, or Romans like Pline the Young, in their description of the ancient world, often talked about a place populated by deer, "locus cervaria", in the Gaul ends. In the IIIrd century BC , the Greeks settled in Empurias, fifty kilometres south. After the Greeks, the Romans developed the city over 600 years. The Valley of deer., was found on the main road from Empurias to Portus Veneris (Port-Vendres), and Illiberis (Elne). From more olden days, some menhir, or dolmen, steel erected, and fully protected, are found all around the Albera range, from Colera in Spain, up to Cerbère. During many centuries , people were scared by these "devil stones". It was "Charlemagne", and his son Charles "the bald" , that worked at the European reunification, and started the building of Churches, and Monasteries, in the IX th century. Elne was the first city to receive a bishop's palace., then Saint André in Sorede, Saint Genis des Fontaines, etc .and Sant Quirze de Culera. During that time, a small chapel named Sent Salvador de cervera, is joined to the Monastery of Sant Quirze. At that same time, many lands were sold, let , or taken, and writings founded. One can read: the cove of "Par Im Baus" (Terrimbo), the "cala de Par Baus" (Port-Bou), and the one of "Baus fallut" (Bou fallut in the Cap Cerbère). The valley of Sant Salvador de cervera was continuously inhabited in the XIV th century by two families: the March, and the Bonavia , people related to the Lord Jehan de Pavo, Donzell Damoiseau de Cervera et de Quer roig. "Quer Roig" is the name of a headland on the top of which was built a watch castle. It is the red colour of the local stones, or the fire lights on top to warn of invaders, that gave the name to the place: nobody knows, but often the terms Caro Rubio, or Quer Roig appear as a boundary of the territory. Slowly, this valley became a dependency of the fishermen from Banyuls de la Marenda. In December 1640, Louis the XIII of France and the "Generalitat de Catalunya" made a pact, against the Spanish Kingdom. After the conquest of the Roussillon, the Pyrenean Treaty was signed in 1659. The Latin description "locus cervaria finis galliae" (Gaul finishes where live deer), gave the south French territory boundary. Until the French revolution, the valley of Cervera was not busy. But, in 1789, the revolution liberated the privileges, and the title deeds, gave a chance to people to extend their vineyards up to the valley of Cervera. In 1820, ten families lived permanently in our valley, with a few seasonal fishermen. During this time smuggling with Spain started along the coast. The customs administration created an office in Cerbère in 1841, in front of the scale of deals. The real booster for the town was the birth of the Railway. In 1846, the French Government started the study for the railway line joining Spain. Fortunately for us the coastal layout was chosen. In 1858, the line to Perpignan was opened, then Port-Vendres in 1867, and Cerbère in 1878. Then business increasing due to the rail link, Cerbère, small hamlet administratively attached to Banyuls, asked for its own independence. This happened in 1888 (July 15th) when Dominique Mitjaville, former 1st deputy mayor of Banyuls, became the first mayor of Cerbère. Prices and terms .
