Most of the regional attractions, sites and festivals are suitable for those travelling with children. More remote walks or old buildings may not be accessible for pushchairs, but tourist guides and restaurant staff are usually helpful and friendly.
There is so much to do in the region that all we can do is give you a taste of some of the options. There are Mediterranean beaches 30 minutes away and impressive lakes and rivers around Prades. There is a wide variety sports and activities. In winter the nearest ski resorts are just 45km away.
There are pretty towns and villages, castles, abbeys and lots of museums. Prades has an excellent, English speaking tourist office. Many of our guests keep coming back because there is so much to do and see.

As you would expect, good restaurants are plentiful and you will be hard pressed to eat badly. The set menus are good value and a way to sample local specialties. Try Escalivade-roast vegetable salad, Bourride-delicious fish soup, anything with anchovies, Paella, Boules de Picolat-Catalonian meatballs, and Crepes Forestiere-wild mushroom pancakes. The ice-cream liegeois are excellent and Creme Catalane is the local dessert.
The local wine, best ordered by the pichet, is excellent and cheap. The vin rose goes well with virtually everything. Other drinks popular with the locals are Banyuls and Rivesaltes as aperitifs and dessert wines, Kir, Sangria, and demi-peche-lager with peach syrup.
