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

Market days in Elne are Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

In the Fourth Century AD, Elne was rebuilt in place of the old town Illibéris, and was renamed by Helen, Constantine's mother. At that time Elne was a coastal town, though it is now 6 kms in land.

* Elne Cloister and Cathedral : Just 500 m from the Cara Sol

The list of activities and sight seeing opportunities easily accessible from Hotel Cara Sol within a day is endless. Mountains, sandy beaches, lakes, walking, cycling, golf, and the historic city of Perpignan are just some of the attractions.
