We actually visited rhe region 10 days ago and found it generally pleasing. Wonderful beaches, pleasant villages and very good connecting roads. On the downside is the ever present wind and over priced properties. Certainly worthy of further exploration.
Thankyou (and NormanH,+ Judith) for your helpful comments. I shall be visiting the area early March -( still off season) to explore and learn, What/where is the Garrigae Development
Thinking of buying property in Marseillan area -to live there - somewhere by the sea idea etc. Any comments -good or bad, about the area eg flooding,mosquitos,crime,services(or lack off) etc etc appreciated
