A complete change from our normal rented, rustic property, with garage in the countryside, the apartment is in the St.Jean Quarter of Perpignan, nestling in the maze of ancient streets. Quiet and very secure, we were completely at home, with the option of cooking and eating "in", or indulging in dining out - the french option of "midday formules" proved very attractive. With a pavement restaurant outside the front door, it was susprising to find so many alternatives within a few 100 yards. Even more surprising was a potager (Maison Delamare), cheaper than the market, a specialist boulangerie (Panisrosa), specialist butcher (chez Guillaume), fromagerie - all within easy walking distance. Every Saturday at 1100, the St.Jean Cathedrale, uniique carillon is played for an hour - a sublime experience. Scheduled Lio bus services to the coast (1 euro each way) and available, escorted wine tours (local pickup) - it would have been easy to spend another 2 weeks there, if not the rest of a lifetime.

The apartment was ideal for my purposes -- writing and relaxing. It's located in the heart of the Vieille Quartier, the Quartier St. Jean. Wonderful cafe just across the street, with more just a few blocks walk. The owner is quite accommodating and easy to communicate with. I was able to write one story and start a second, all the while taking the time to relax and watch the world go by in the Place de la Republique. The apartment was all as advertised, tidy and easy to clean, and easy to live in. I hope to be able to return next summer. .

Séjour très agréable dans cet appartement soigné et décoré avec beaucoup de goût et hôtes très sympathiques. Un seul bémol : le manque de luminosité dans l'appartement mais en été, éviter le soleil est un avantage pour une ville comme Perpignan.

Passte zu der Beschreibung. Aber einige Details sind negativ, das Bad ist unbequem, im Schrank sind die Schubladen unbrauchbar, es gibt keine ordentlichen Tee- und Kaffeetassen und auch die virhandenen Gläser laden nicht zum Wein trinken ein. Das Geschirr ist ebenfalls knapp. Die Heizung funktionierte gut, die Wohnung hat ein angenehmes Ambiente und liegt sehr gut. Die Fenster sind leider überhaupt nicht schalldicht. Die Wihnung liegt aber in einer wenig frequentierten Gasse, deshalb war es nicht schlimm. Aber im Sommer?
