Geographical location

Collioure, an idyllic place on the rocky coastline, is situated in the very south of France, 26 km (approx. 15 miles) from the Spanish border. The picturesque village is nestled in an authentic environment. Its small Catalan harbor is sheltered by a quiet bay where the chain or the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean Sea. The exceptionally sunny climate and the north wind “Tramontane” makes Collioure a unique place where well-being and Catalan "art de vivre" have their origins. You can count on having a splendid swim at one of the small coves and several sand and pebble beaches.

How to come:

By car: Take highway A 9 to the Perpignan South exit; head in the direction of Elne and then towards Argelès/Mer. After that, there are two possible routes: either take the "Corniche" route or the route marked R.N. 114.

By train: Via the direct connection Paris – Port-Bou or T.G.V. Paris – Perpignan.

By plane: Via the international airport Perpignan – Rivesaltes.

"In France there is no sky as blue as the one in Collioure...I just have to close the shutters of my room and I have all the colors of the Mediterranean before me." --- HENRI MATISSE
