Looking for a rental near Narbonne, Gruissan or Port-Leucate? Villa Container Fitou sits in the middle of this triangle, on the heights of a winemaking village, with the sea in view from the terrace. Instead of the noise of a resort, you get the quiet, the heated pool and every beach within driving distance.
Port-Leucate, La Franqui, Le Barcares: fifteen minutes away
The long sandy beaches of Port-Leucate, Leucate-Plage and La Franqui are a quarter of an hour away. Le Barcares and its water sports bases are just behind them. This is the seafront for swimming, paddleboarding, kitesurfing and summer evenings, close enough to come home and sleep in the cool.
Narbonne and Gruissan: thirty minutes away
Narbonne, with its covered market, the Canal de la Robine and its cathedral, is half an hour away. Gruissan, its circular village, its stilted chalets and its beaches, thirty-five minutes. Narbonne-Plage and Port-la-Nouvelle, with the Sainte-Lucie nature reserve, complete the Aude coastline. All without repacking a suitcase: a different town every day, the villa every evening.
Perpignan and Catalonia: twenty-five minutes away
Perpignan airport is twenty-five minutes away, the centre of Perpignan barely more. Salses and its fortress are a quarter of an hour, Collioure an hour and a half, Barcelona two hours.
