Collioure is well known to be the most beautiful town in one of the most beautiful areas in the south of France. It has 4 beaches to choose from of various types,from soft sand to clean shingle. It is a small but lively town with a majestic castle,top class restaurants, artists studios, wine cellars, clothes & other unusual charming shops. Its narrow streets are a delight to walk through because of their charm and colour.
There are many walks around the area and many interesting places to drive. The lovely coast road south to Spain winds its way from Collioure through the other coastal towns to the border. Activities apart from walking include sailing, fishing, diving, cycling, tennis, nightclubbing at the famous Indigo, as well as water sports at nearby Argeles or white water rafting in the Pyrenees. Or just relax on the beach or in one of the beach side cafes. Once you have been to Collioure you are certain to return there many times. It is simply the nicest wee place in the world.
