Collioure is situated around 15 minutes from Argeles and is reached by a small meandering road overlooking the blue waters of the Mediterranean. This small fishing village contains many historical treasures. Its small church, with its distinctive outline, the calm majesty of the castle of the Kings of Majorca, its alleyways where the old stone buildings, rose-bays and Virginia creepers offer you their shade. Collioure is a small corner of paradise by the sea which has retained the authenticity of a Catalan village.
Famous for its painters and its light, Collioure is waiting for you in the cool of the evening, on the terrace of one of its numerous small beach bars, where you can enjoy the peace of the night as it descends on the illuminated castle.
Not to be missed, the traditional firework display of the 16th August! A real spectacle!
More than just a train, it’s a real tourist experience by rail! Built more than one hundred years ago, this line is the highest in France. It winds through the breathtaking scenery up to the famous resort of Font-Romeu near the Spanish border.
Not to be missed! Set off to discover an amazing city, where ancient monuments mix with religious and military buildings. Dominated by the superb Saint-Jean cathedral and the majestic Palace of the Kings of Majorca (the castle at Collioure was their secondary residence).
Stroll around Perpignan with the family, and explore its many historical identities, all rooted in Catalan culture.

Dishes that you must sample during your stay in the Roussillon.
