The Fitou Area:
Fitou's mild temperatures and sun-filled days (300 days of sunshine a year) --even in the winter months--make it a favourite year-round holiday destination. After two weeks of visiting 40 villages throughout the Laungedoc, we fell in love with Fitou.
It's a traditional French/Catalan village with friendly, welcoming locals. Nearby are beautiful beaches, oyster beds, carefully tended vineyards, degustations (for free wine tastings), excellent restaurants, and a cafe that spills out onto the village square.
La Franqui Beach (12 minutes) is flat sand with few rocks and is shallow for metres into the Mediterranean. Leucate Beach is rarely crowded even in high season. La Plage des Coussoules has wild beaches and sand yachting.
Nearby Leucate is a landmark for migrating birds.
