Fabulous views and a good chance of seeing ibex and chamois. 42.8275-0.1758332 Pyrénées National Park Perpignan is easily accessible by train from NE Spain and from Paris and southern France.

The southern end of the coast is the Côte Vermeille, a beautifully rugged stretch known for its vineyards and historic port towns such as Collioure and Cerbère. Pic Carlit — though nearly 3,000 metres in height, does not require specialist climbing skills in summer. Fabulous views and a good chance of seeing ibex and chamois.
