Hey SalB, thank you so much for the detailed info. I'll be there 9 march - 20 march. I was lookin at the jousting things online...are these events only a specific time of the year? Or can you see them pretty frequently? I'm glad to hear there is the ability to rent bikes and there are trails to hike. I'm totally jazzed. I'll definitely have to chekc out Narbonne and Collioure...those palces sound teriffic. I'm hanging out with some late teenage guys, so i'm trying to find entertining things and adventures to plan. Thank you for the ideas!
