The Illibéris has been a land of unparalleled historical richness since antiquity. Ideally located between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, the plain of Roussillon forms a colorful carpet, made up of vines, market gardening and fruit growing areas. A few kilometers from the beaches, not far from Perpignan and the Côte Vermeille, the town of Elne and the nearby villages of Bages and Ortaffa retain an impressive heritage heritage.

Numerous archaeological excavations have revealed the secrets of men who lived there for almost three millennia. Here, meetings to discover heritage treasures are essential.
