Situated in the very south of France, 26 km (approx. 15 miles) from the Spanish border, Collioure is an idyllic place on the rocky coastline, nestling in an unspoilt, protected environment. The small Catalan port is sheltered by a creek where the waters of the Mediterranean meet the rocks of the Pyrenees mountain chain. An exceptionally sunny climate ensured by the Tramontana wind from the north makes Collioure a unique place and a source of Catalan well-being and life style. Several sandy or pebble beaches, creeks and clear waters provide opportunities for you to enjoy swimming.
