Can anyone tell me where I can buy a wide range of bedding plants in the area of Le Barcares/Canet? Garden centres, markets someone did mention Carrefour at Claira.

Just back from Villa Verde at Rivesaultes as it's close to Perpignan airport and we had to go there this afternoon.
That's pretty close to you and they do have a wide variety of plants, including those of the bedding variety. Sounds a bit racy, but you know what I mean!

The new one next to conforama, at the island with the new(ish) cinema on on the way into Perp, coming from St Cyp.

As we are fairly new out here any idea which N/D roads they are on?

For Villa Verde take the N9 >Narbonne. Having passed the airport turnoff, take the next third (I think) exit - ignore the one to Pia/Rivesaltes, the next one is the D12 - Rivesaltes. (You'll see the estate on your left, a Piscine place then the Garden Centre just as you get there.) Take this exit, you'll turn left under the the N9 and Villa Verde is just there. Worth the trip.

Thanks Dave,
Lin and I had sort of found the location on mappy.com but your directions are much more precise.
Also found the website on hotbot france but the directions were very vague!
Not far from us, only about 13 kms and an easy drive from our place so thanks again.

Even nearer to you is the market at St laurent on Thursdays & Sundays.
You buy direct from the producer & dont pay the middle man!!!!!!!!!!!
Also , of the main road towards the A9 there are lots of little places to buy plants, just look out for the signs & dont drive too fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes thats closer and you are right does cut out the middle man but did you have to mention about driving slower on the A9. I'm always being told to slow down as we keep missing things, especially exits!!!!
