We will be 15 miles south of Perpignan for 2 weeks in July. We'll have a car and would love to visit markets, restaurants, rustic farm foods/bistros, patisseries, wine etc. We're happy to let the food decide where we go as we've found this is a great way of exploring an area. Your help is much appreciated
thanks
