To know
36 km from Perpignan and 25 from Portbou, on the borderline with the Catalonia, Collioure has a marina where numerous pleasure boats anchor. The beauty of its landscapes attracted numerous artists in the early 1900s, from André Derain to Georges Braque, from Henri Matisse to Pablo Picasso. It is said to look like Saint Tropez of the good old days, that is before it was invaded by mass tourism but also Collioure now appears devoted to the same fate as its more famous sister.
