Canet-en-Rousillon is a charming old town with the Pyrenees on its doorstep

I AWOKE with techno music still beating in my head. 

This is not the representative sound of Canet-en-Roussillon but sometimes you end up digging deeper to do your research than you initially planned to.

For me, it involved checking out what kind of nightlife there is in a seaside resort town on the Mediterranean just 10km from Perpignan.
