ELNE, A PYRENEAN AND MEDITERRANEAN TOWN
Situated in the heart of the Department of the Pyrenees Orientales,
(4 kms from the sea and at the foot of the Pyrenees), the Illiberian
city has a unique setting and a privileged environment. The principal
town of a canton of 6500 inhabitants, Elne was in the Ancient Past, on
one of the few possible land routes between the Iberian Peninsular
and Mediterranean Gaul.

Its lively market is a reflection of its thousand-year-old agricultural
tradition, which is still evident to day. Vines, orchards, and market
gardening make Elne a place to savour!
