A centre
for modern art and fine food.
Ceret is 10km from the house (a 15 minute drive) and has a wide range
of restaurants and bars.
Picasso, Matisse, Braque, Duffy and Soutine all lived and worked
in the town, and today it is home to many working artists. Its artistic
heritage is on display in the town’s Musee d’Art Moderne.
Ceret and the surrounding area has many fine Catalan, French and
Spanish restaurants, ranging from intimate family auberges to Michelin-starred
establishments.
The town has two large supermarkets, and a food and crafts market
on Saturday mornings, where you can buy excellent bread, cheeses,
fruit, vegetables and other local and organic produce.
The closest larger cities are Perpignan (a 45 minutes drive) and Barcelona
(around 110 minutes). Other spots of interest include Gerona, a pretty
Spanish town just over the border (a 45 minute drive) and Figures,
a larger city and home to the Dali Museum (a 75 minutes drive). |
