What’s on in the Roussillon Confent The Roussillon Conflent is a vibrant collection of 16 different communes, each with their own unique charm.
Bike, quad, horse ride along the many panoramic tracks, through sweet smelling garrigue, shady forests of chestnut and cork oak, or take a drive along dramatic scenic routes with breathtaking views, through pretty Catalan villages, amidst countryside steeped in history.
Wander back in time in the footsteps of prehistoric man, discover ancient art and architecture, meet the people, visit the markets, taste the wine, the regional specialties, enjoy the restaurants and cafés… simply sit back with a cool drink on a shady summer terrace and watch the world go by…
