Laroque is situated 4 miles inland from Argeles nestling in the foothills of the Pyrenees on the Alberes plain. The Spanish border is a few kilometres away. Languedoc is the most southern region in France and boasts over 300 days sunshine per year with average temperatures at least 10 degrees warmer than UK.

 It is ideally situated for just about every outdoor activity. Mount Canigou dominates this corner of France. It rises to almost 10 000 feet and provides a reference point  throughout the region. Views of the mountain and its smaller brother (Pico Neous) are staggering from Laroque. The Alberes plain rolls down to the sea from Mount Canigou and combining these with the Alberes forest and Pico Neous make probably the best walking and mountain biking in Europe. Laroque is exactly in the centre of all this.
