When Ryanair stopped flights between London and Gerona (sorry - “Barcelona/Girona” they call it) we were forced to search out other means of getting to our second home in St Jean Lasseille, in the Perpignan plain. We'd had the house for 8 years and both of us – but particularly Mike, being retired – had made many journeys between the two homes over those years, Gerona having become our airport of choice following the introduction of the “Frogbus” coach service between the airport and Le Boulou, our nearest town.
For reasons best known to themselves, Ryanair had already cut services between London and Perpignan over winter (which must have pleased the British skiers wanting to get to the Pyrenean slopes) so we were left without a local airport to fly to in the autumn and winter of 2011-12. Even in the “dormant” season our French garden needs attention, quite apart from the fact that we love to be there whatever the time of year – so the search began.
