When people talk about the south of France, most travellers immediately picture lavender fields in Provence or the luxury-soaked beaches of the French Riviera. But if you’re looking for a place where the dramatic peaks of the Pyrenees plunge straight into the waves<\/strong> of the Mediterranean, you’ll need to head a little further. All the way down near the Spanish border stretches the fascinating C\u00f4te Vermeille, which translates as the Vermilion Coast. And right at its heart sits Collioure, France<\/strong> \u2014 in this guide we’ll cover 11 tips on what to see and do in Collioure and along the C\u00f4te Vermeille<\/strong>, and show you why this rawer, wilder corner of the country was so beloved by Europe’s most famous painters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get ready for narrow cobbled lanes, brightly coloured house facades and mighty medieval castles rising right above the beach<\/strong>. Around every corner you’ll catch that unmistakable Catalan atmosphere, completely different from the rest of France. I’ll also tell you which months are best to visit so you don’t roast alive, and how to cleverly solve the logistics \u2014 because summer traffic here can be a real headache<\/strong>. Discover this gem of the French south that still holds onto its authentic character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
