Home description
Collioure, known as the "Jewel of the Vermeille" coast is a medieval harbor town whose magical light has attracted artists such as Matisse and Picasso. Today it continues as a thriving artist's community and quaint coastal town with five beaches. Collioure's ancient , winding streets are closed to vehicles allowing for leisurely walks past its sorbet coloured stucco dwellings and tiny shops. The outdoor market is held each Wednesday and Sunday from 9am to noon and offers a variety of regional foods, crafts, clothing and flowers. Music, festivals and performances (including the Catalan "Sardanne" dance)abound in season from May through September and Easter week. The slower pace of southwest France is evidenced in our many beachfront and side street cafes where residents and tourists enjoy lesisurely espressos and cafe au laits .

The Languedoc-Roussillon / Pyrenees-Orientales region
The Languedoc-Roussillon is the "road-less-travelled" compared to Provence and the Cote d'Azur. It offers a multitude of natural beaches surrounded by the majestic Pyrenees. The wine region here has reached new heights and quality within the past ten years drawing the attention of many wine and travel writers. Languedoc-Roussillon contains the famous Cathar region with castles and ruins from the 13th century. Some interesting day trips include: Peyrepertuse and Queribus Cathar castles. Empuries, Spain for Greek and Roman ruins. Cadaques, Spain for Dali's home (reservations necessary) Figueres, Spain for the Dali museo. Ceret , the cherry capital, for famous Saturday market (9 to noon) and lunch on the square with roving musicians. Or stop in at the adorable "La Praline" tea salon for an inexpensive lunch of homemade tarts, soups and salads topped off by their delicious Belgian chocolates.
