Growth of tourism in the Pyrénées-Orientales
The last five years have seen a tremendous growth in tourism in the Pyrénées Orientales. This new trend is due partly to the introduction of low fare airlines such as Ryanair and Jet2, operating from the region’s airports, and making access from other parts of Europe cheap and easy.

This new accessibility, along with the attraction of a region which offers weather, scenery and a life style which is second to none, has meant that many of these initial tourists are now looking to buy holiday homes, retire to the region, and settle in the Pyrénées-Orientales. Visitors from Britain, Ireland, Germany, Holland,Sweden and Denmark, to name but a few, are gradually building up small communities in the region, within which the English language tends to be a common factor for communication as they strive to learn the French language and integrate themselves into the community.

Through Anglophone-direct.com (Pyrénées Orientales), we offer an opportunity for tourists and ex pats living in the Pyrénées-Orientales to meet up in our forum, share recommendations and views and pinpoint services and businesses able to deal with the Anglophone client in his or her own language, or expressing a particular desire to receive Anglophone customers.
