If you are hiring a car, the best options are Girona and Barcelona as the rates are usually lower in Spain (the links below should give you the cheapest car hire rate available in Perpignan). Girona is a much smaller airport and avoids the hassle of driving through Barcelona.
In French airports you have a choice of up to seven car rental companies: Ada, Avis, Budget, Europcar/Dollar, Hertz, National/Citer/Alamo, Sixt (the Ada and Citer websites are just in French). However, in answer to which is the cheapest car hire firm, it's the one available from the links below (we checked all the car hire firms that we could find which is why we're sure they are the cheapest). Holiday Autos is so cheap they often run out of cars; if they do you the next cheapest place is Auto Europe which usually doesn't run out of cars.

Bus
The Quillan bus from Perpignan bus station takes about 20 minutes to reach Mas Camps. Take the bus to Estagel (from quai 9) and phone us (04 68 29 10 77)from there to collect you (Estagel is about 2km from us); if you're going to do this, let us know in advance. There are six buses each day, except Sunday, when there are none; click To Quillan or To Perpignan for the timetables.
Guidebook
Don't forget to get a guidebook! Allow about a week for delivery, two near Christmas. In general, my personal preference is for the Lonely Planet series but, at the moment, the best one to get is the Rough Guide to the Pyrenees or their Languedoc & Roussillon guide, depending on exactly where you're going. If you're travelling further afield in France, Lonely Planet France, is an excellent reference-book style guide. However, the Rough Guide France is less encyclopaedic and you may find it easier to use.
For a good online review of what there is to see in the Pyrénées-Orientale, see Pyrenees Themes.

Maps and Directions
|
For maps, you could go for the Michelin Tourist & Motoring Atlas but unless you're going well off the beaten track, you'll probably find that their Mini Atlas is much more practical (if you're flying, the larger version is far too big to bring anyway). In terms of online maps, Mappy seems to give the best coverage of France and it also gives reasonable driving directions. |

To get to Mas Camps hotel from Perpignan, follow the signs to Foix (which is to the west of the Perpignan on the D117). You pass through two small villages before reaching us. The direction signs are displayed on the airport directions page and there is a map of the local area here. You turn left as you leave the village of Estagel (staying on the same road): we are the white building just over the bridge you cross 2km later. From Foix, take the D 117 towards Perpignan. We are on your right 7km after Maury, at the end of the long straight section of road. |
