What to bring

Bring a torch and be prepared for different kinds of weather. We are close to the mountains so the weather can change quickly. If you are staying in the house, we provide bed, mattress and sheets. You should bring a sleeping bag and a towel and all your soaps and shampoos should be bio-degradable.

By bus or train

Come to Perpignan, from there take the bus to Arles-sur-Tech. Journey time is about one hour. The buses start at Perpignan bus station, then 5 mins later stop at Perpignan railway station, then via Le Boulou, and Amélie-les-Bains to Arles-sur-Tech.

On weekdays buses leave Perpignan at 08:00, 11:10, 12:10, 15:15, 17:15 and 18:55.

On Sundays and holidays (feast days) there are not so many buses.

Try to arrange to arrive in daylight, and not too late - choose the morning or afternoon if you can. If you let us know in advance we can arrange to pick you up in Arles sur Tech.

It is also possible to take a taxi from Arles-sur-Tech to Can Pinous (Terre de Sacha):
this costs about Eur. 30,-. Ask the driver before starting out.

By air via Perpignan

The airport is a short bus or taxi ride from Perpignan bus or train Stations (bus €4,50 – taxi €14,00). Then take the bus to Arles-sur-Tech (see above).

Be careful, the taxi drivers sometimes try to persuade you to go by taxi all the way to Arles (this would cost at least Eur. 70,-).

By air via Barcelona

Take the metro from the airport to the station "Estacio Sants". This takes 15 mins and costs about Eur. 2,10 (taxi or bus are also possible but are slower and more expensive). The last metro is 22:45.

From the rail station, catch a train to Perpignan (3 hours and about Eur. 15,-).

Times of the trains are 07:10, 08:45, 13:20, 15:20, 16:37, 17:20, 19:20.

From Perpignan take the bus to Arles-sur-Tech (see above).

By car

If you come from SPAIN, take direction Le Boulou (French border) – Perpignan (highway or national road).

At Le Boulou, follow the instructions below.

If you travel through Perpignan (FRANCE), take the road to Le Boulou and then to Céret.
If you take the highway ("péage" – paying), don't exit at Perpignan, but continue direction Barcelone and take the exit Le Boulou.

Then direction Céret. Take care to take the side exit lane to Céret  and do not the main pay gates (these lead to Spain).

From Céret, continue up the valley (main road) to Amélie-Les-Bains and then to Arles-sur-Tech.

Go straight through Arles in the direction Prats de Mollo. After about 500 metres, turn right direction Corsavy. There are then immediately two forks, go right at the first one and left at the next one. They are both marked Corsavy.

Now you begin to climb up and up, and reach Corsavy in about 20 mins.
At Corsavy, continue on the main road direction La Batère.

After approx. 5-6 kms, you will see the sign Can Pinous (Terre de Sacha) on the right side.
Now travel slowly (at night - VERY slowly!). It's safer for our road and for your car!
The Terre de Sacha road is one and a half kms, and you will cross two little streams.
There is a gate with a number lock: please phone Terre de Sacha before you come and ask for the combination number to open the lock. 
In case it's dark, just park when you come to the other cars, and walk the last 100 m to the house and…

…A WARM WELCOME!
