SURROUNDING AREA
Croix du Courtigues is within 5 minutes drive of Sigean, which has all the services, from grocery stores, bakeries, to restaurants, and cafés. 7 kms drive is an African reserve, - a drive through wild animal reserve. 8 minutes drive are the Mediterranean beaches that stretch from Port La Nouvelle to La Franqui. Access is excellent as Sigean is an exit off the autoroute from Montpellier to Barcelona, which connects with the autoroute from Toulouse. The route nationale also gives direct access to the airport at Perpignan.
There is plenty to see and do - to the north is Narbonne (20 minutes) with its imposing cathedral, archbishop's palace, roman remains as well as shops, including popular markets, including a very large Sunday market. Just to the east are more beaches, stretching from Gruissan, with its marina, wind surfing, beaches, to Narbonne Plage, and St Pierre sur Mer. Further northwards is Beziers, with old city, a large flower market, and the Feria in the Summer months.
45 minutes to the east up the Aude valley is Carcassonne one of the wonders of Medieval architecture with its splendid cité and castle, with splendid views. More magnificent castles are to be found near in the Corbieres, immediately to the east of the house, particularly at Queribus and Peyrepertuse, two stunning feats of engineering, these castles seemingly defy gravity and reason, on top of mountain peaks.
For those seeking a quieter or more meditative outing - Fontfroide, a pretty Cistercian abbey is 30 minutes drive, and for those who view on their stomach, attached is a Michelin starred restaurant. Further into the Corbieres is Lagrasse - with historic abbey, streets, with art galleries, shops, and often fairs for antiques, books, pottery or festivals for Jazz.
To the south are the Catalonian splendors of Perpignan, with the castle once home of the Kings of Majorca, a beautiful cathedral; and don't miss the cloisters at Elne - with unbelievable sculptural designs; or the pleasures of Collioure where sea and mountain tempted the artistic palate of the likes of Picasso and Malliol.
