Vivès is a tiny village in the hills of the Eastern Pyrénées, southwest of Perpignon.
It's a pretty little village, but too isolated and to small to be "a place to visit".
No village café, but a good restaurant
Vivès is just off the D115 road southwest of Perpignon that passes Céret and Amélie-les-Bains-Palalda along the valley of Le Tech river into Spain.
We found ourselves in Vivès for a few days because of an excellent gite to stay at while we visited the area.
