Holiday Home in Tautavel near Gorges de Gouleyrous

Tautavel is a beautiful village in the north-east of the Pyrénées-Orientales, a little out of the way, at the bottom of a narrow valley. Yet it is world-famous for being the place where the oldest European in history was found. As a result, there is a large archaeological museum on site, as well as a cave, and at the very top, a castle and the Torre del Far, "the sentinel of Roussillon". Stroll through the narrow streets and relax in the shade of the plane trees. Further on, don't miss a visit to the narrow Gorges de Gouleyrous, impressive for the grey colour of the rocks and their rounded shapes, carved out by the current. There is a paying car park and a refreshment bar, but you can still lie down on the pebbles to enjoy the coolness of the transparent water. Castles, belvederes, priories, medieval villages and gorges abound here, and why not take the Cerdagne Yellow Train, visit the Sigean Animal Reserve, or spend a pleasant moment at the thermal baths in Amélie les Bains or Le Boulou? It's hard to get bored in this region, despite the peace and quiet offered by this beautiful holiday home!
