Collioure nestles in the Banyuls wine region of the stunning Pyrenees Orientales just half an hour from the Spanish border and one of the year-round attractions of the area. This authentic French coastal town in French Catalonia was first made famous by great artists such as Derain and Matisse, and remains a magnet for artists today. Collioure's pretty harbour and beaches are dominated by the Chateau Royale and the extraordinary church built out into the sea. A perfect family location, offering beaches, high energy water sports/climbing/cycling and tranquil walks in abundance - not to mention some of the best food and wine in the region - Don't miss the fish restaurants along the harbour, absolutely superb!
