Neighbourhoods
Our local villageTucked in between forests of scrub oak and chestnut trees, nestling in the greenery and surrounded by exceptional views, as you turn the bend you find a charming little village overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. It’s Saint Marsal, peaceful, quiet and soothing like a contented old man after a life well lived, this charming village of narrow and picturesque streets embodies in its ancient stones the history of French Catalonia.
Stroll up and down the sloping streets, drink at one of the four fountains or do your washing at the well as the villagers still do today, and if you feel like it, sit down on a bench, where an old lady will surely have a tale to tell you.
Less than 2 km from The Little Mountain Retreat, Saint Marsal, the small Taulis River provides an opportunity for family bathing. The water is fresh and the sun shines down between the mountainsides, a peaceful and pleasant place. If you feel like it, the River Tech at Amélie les Bains (about 20km away) is a bigger river with bathing places upstream and downstream from the town. There is also a large municipal swimming pool at Amélie les Bains.
