Local activities in and around Collioure , Languedoc-Roussillon
Collioure, on the Cote Vermeille, lies in the Roussillon, France’s most southerly area, characterised by vineyards, orchards, timeless villages and vibrant towns all nestling beneath the peaks of the Canigou, the sacred mountain of the Catalans. This is a land of sunshine - over 300 days a year.
Perpignan: 30 kms to the north of Collioure, is the capital and largest town of the Roussillon. The city’s medieval walls were demolished early in the 19th century and replaced by wide boulevards, shaded by plane trees. The medieval city is well worth exploring on foot, especially the Palais des Rois de Majorque and the Cathedrale Saint Jean both dating from the 13th century. Perpignan offers excellent shopping, a wide range of restaurants.
Argeles sur Mer: 7 kms north of Collioure, comprises Argeles Ville, with a good range of shops and supermarkets and the more modern and bustling resort of Argeles Plage, with its long sandy beaches. There is a marina to the south of the beach area, en route to the more intimate resort of Le Racou which has a fine sand beach with beach front hotels and restaurants.
Ceret: In summer Ceret holds sardanas and corridas, but many visitors are drawn by The Museum of Modern Art which features work by the most well known Fauvists, Cubists and Surrealists. Much of the collection was donated by artists who came to stay in the town. The weekly market is also worth visiting.
Spanish Catalonia: The border is under 30 minutes drive south and offers an interesting day out, dramatic sea views and a completely different culture. The northern area of the Costa Brava has a number of delightful small resorts like Llafranc, Calella de Palafrugel and Tamariu - perfect for a walk or swim and a leisurely lunch. Figueres, home of the Dali Museum; Cadaques and Port Lligat where Dali spent much of his life and further afield the historic town of Gerona and the vibrant city of Barcelona are also within easy reach.
BY AIR - The nearest airports are Perpignan (39kms) and Gerona (98 kms). Other airports are Carcassonne (159 kms), Montpellier (191 kms), Barcelona (210kms),Nimes (245 kms) and Toulouse (252 kms).
