Let’s be honest… finding local information online can be a bit of a lottery. One website tells you a restaurant is open when it closed two summers ago, another recommends “hidden gems” that half of France has already discovered, and before you know it you’ve got twelve browser tabs open and still no idea where you’re going for lunch.
Sound familiar?
That’s why we thought we’d introduce you to Loca – a handy new local guide built specifically for the Pyrénées-Orientales.
Whether you live here year-round, own a second home, or you’re visiting for a well-earned holiday, Loca is designed to help you discover more of the region without disappearing down an internet rabbit hole.
Instead of searching website after website, you simply ask a question.
Looking for a great seafood restaurant? An easy walk with sea views? A quiet beach? A vineyard to visit? Somewhere to take the grandchildren? Ideas for a rainy afternoon? Just ask.
Loca brings together local knowledge, trusted tourism information and maps to give practical suggestions that are actually relevant to where you are.
It’s also multilingual, so if you’ve got friends or family visiting from abroad, they can ask questions in their own language too.
And before you ask… no, there’s nothing to download.
No app. No account. No password you’ll immediately forget.
Just open the link or scan the QR code and away you go.
Some ideas to get you started…
Try asking things like:
- Where can I find a good restaurant nearby?
- Which beach is best for families?
- Can you suggest a scenic drive?
- What’s a good walk with a café at the end?
- Which vineyards can I visit today?
- What are some lesser-known places to explore?
- Where can I park in Collioure without my blood pressure doubling?
- What can we do if the weather decides to have one of its off days?
- Where’s the nearest pharmacy?
One thing we particularly like is that you don’t need to know exactly what you’re looking for.
You can ask something as simple as “We’ve got half a day free, where should we go?” or “We’re travelling with two teenagers – any ideas?” and Loca will suggest places to suit.
And if it saves you from opening fourteen browser tabs, arguing over where to go for lunch, or ending up at the same place for the fifth weekend in a row… we’d say that’s a result.
