Collioure / Moure area
Collioure, an idyllic place on the rocky coastline, is situated in the very south of France, 26 km (approx. 15 miles) from the Spanish border. The picturesque village is nestled in an authentic environment. Its small Catalan harbor is sheltered by a quiet bay where the chain or the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean Sea. The exceptionally sunny climate and the north wind “Tramontane” makes Collioure a unique place where well-being and Catalan "art de vivre" have their origins. You can count on having a splendid swim at one of the small coves and several sand and pebble beaches.
Collioure has always been a source of inspiration for artists. Writers, poets, singers and painters fell under Collioure’s charm. That is also why Picasso, Matisse, Derain, Dufy Chagall, Marquet, and many others set up their easels here and immortalized the small Catalan harbor in their works. With approximately thirty galleries and many artists from the entire world, Collioure still is the ”City of Painters.”
"In France there is no sky as blue as the one in Collioure...I just have to close the shutters of my room and I have all the colours of the Mediterranean before me." --- HENRI MATISSE

Guestbook for CHATEAU DE LA ROCASSE
Dear Liliane
We very much enjoyed our second holiday in your apartment in La Rocasse, it was perhaps better than the first time since it was like returning home ! A beautiful location, a perfect view, and it provided everything we could wish for. We certainly hope to return again in the future. We wish you a continued success with this beautiful -place.

Hello Liliane,
Our holiday in France was wonderful, Collioure exceeded all expectations and yes the weather was perfect. La Rocasse is certainly lovely and location perfect. Your facilities in La Rocasse could not be faulted and the decor was delightful, Kind Regards Chris Australia june 2008 --------------------- Je tiens a vous dire que mes enfants et moi avons passe un sejour merveilleux dans votre appartement. Bien sur le temps fut de la partie mais le charme et l'emplacement de l'endroit y furent pour beaucoup ! Appartement très comfortable et décoré avec beaucoup de goût, On se sent chez soi. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié le charme et le cachet de cet appartement, la vue magnifique et le très bon niveau d'équipement de celui-ci. (literie comfortable, belle vaiselle, dvd à disposition, bougie d'ambiance, objet de décoration ...) Plus besoin de voiture, nous étions au coeur de Collioure pour découvrir le charme de ses ruelles et de ses maisons de couleur, la tranquilité de ses plages, tôt le matin et tard le soir, la présence immédiate de la mer, la lumière changeante sur le village au fil de la journée, c'était un spectacle permanent, Nous avons adoré !!! et souhaiterions revenir. Louez vous hors saison pour le week end (du vendredi soir au dimanche soir) ? Merci encore Cordialement
Colette Pradel Aout 2008 -------------------
We spent an excellent week in your studio (a small jewel) . We loved, that, as you, Maybe we shall have the occasion to take a glass in sea front one of these days... Goodbye maybe.

Bonsoir Liliane We had a very good holiday in La Rocasse, it was a superb apartment and a very tasteful renovation. It was perhaps my tenth visit to Collioure during twenty years and it was the best. We were very happy, so we are thinking about a return during September 2008. Best Regards
Andrew UK ---------------- Hi Liliane
We really enjoyed our stay in La Rocasse last week. The apartment is lovely and what a beautiful location looking out over the sea. We had been in Collioure before but not such a perfect location.
Many thanks again for such a lovely place and I can see why you like it so much.
