One hour's drive from the ski resorts, in one direction and the seaside in the other. The railway station is 15 minutes level walk and has a mainline to Perpignan as well as the wonderful narrow-gauge Train Jaune, to the ski resorts, the Spanish border, and beyond. Les Chambres Chouettes ~ Mountain ambiance ~ Catalan warmth. Our traditional French village house has been meticulously converted to offer traditional French Chambre d'Hôtes Guest House accommodation in characterful surroundings. Formerly the home of one of the drivers of the Train Jaune - the famous narrow gauge railway that snakes its way from Villefranche de Conflent across the Pyrenees to the Spanish border at La Tour de Carol - this spacious 3 storey building lends itself to relaxed living, with stunning views, sunny balconies and of course the invigorating mountain air of the Pyrenees. You can walk to Fort Liberia (or take the landrover), Chapelle Notre-Dame de vie, the Vauban fortifications and Vernet-les-Bains from our doorstep. The restaurants, cafes and shops in the village offer something for everyone. There is free parking close by on our quiet little street. Getting around It is possible to get a 1 euro bus or train to Perpignan and onwards to the coast for another euro. The wonderful Train Jaune will take you up into the mountains; prices vary. The 1 euro bus follows a similar route to the Spanish border. Lots more information from the Tourisme Conflent-Canigou tourist office or the Villefranche de Conflent village website.
