Snow chains
I have just been told by Hertz that i cannot hire snow chains from their Carcassonne airport office. I am travelling down on the 11th January for a long weekend skiing in Font Romeu. I will be travelling to Font Romeu from Port Leucate, does anybody know where i can purchase a set of snow chains in the Perpignan area for my use over the weekend and for future hols.
Many thanks and happy new year to you all
Dave

Try Feu Vert. I think there is one in Perpignan, near the Renault garage on way to Auchan shopping center. Details on internet.

You should still see about chains, Dave. Roads that are clear today are not necessarily going to be clear on the 11th Jan. You need to think you might need them and therefore need to get them in because needing them when you don't have them is much worse than not needing them when you do have them. Well, I know what I mean.Robert Ferrieux wrote:Anyhow, the roads are clear, you don't need chains to go up to Font Romeu.

Just to add to that, I used snow-socks when it snowed in Perpignan in 2006. They were pretty easy to put on and they worked. They won't last as long as chains but they don't take up much room and are pretty good for emergencies.
Do not go up to the mountains without one or the other. The weather is vary variable at the moment and snow and ice on a mountain road is not the same as a bit of snow on your drive in suburbia. Besides, you will want to park close to the ski-lifts and it is always icy there.
