The iconic bell tower, the Château Royal, the flower-filled lanes and the harbour of traditional Catalan boats. From the residence, a quiet path through the vines leads you into the heart of Collioure.
Boramar beach at the foot of the bell tower, the cove of Port-d'Avall, and the secluded inlets along the coastal path. Swimming and snorkelling in clear water, just a few steps away.
It was here that Matisse and Derain invented Fauvism. The Fauvism trail dots the town with reproductions, set in the very spots where the easels once stood — hence the names of our apartments.
The terraced AOC Banyuls-Collioure vineyards tumble down to the sea. From the residence, walking trails overlook the bay of Collioure and lead to the lighthouse at Cap Béar.
Collioure anchovies (shop 300 m away), the naturally sweet wines, Catalan cooking and the harbourside terraces. The Vermilion Coast is as much to be savoured as it is to be admired.
Port-Vendres, Banyuls and its aquarium, Cerbère, Spain 20 minutes away, Perpignan and its market. An entire coastline to explore from Collioure.
SNCF train station in the town centre (coastal line). Perpignan airport 35 min away, Barcelona 2 hrs.
April to October for the sea; May–June and September for mild weather and quiet.
Parking is restricted in season; travel light — everything is within walking distance of the residence.
The Fauvism trail, an aperitif at the harbour, the market and a Banyuls tasting.
