Trip to Languedoc-Roussillon (Day 4 and 5 Collioure)


After leaving the Château de Peyrepertuse we headed down a small sea-side village on the Mediterranean called Collioure.  It was wonderful to see the bright, blue sea off-season with only a few tourists meandering about.  This little fortress town on the water  has a royal castle which was the summer residence of the Majorcan kings from 1276 to 1344 when it was taken by the kings of Aragon.  Bright Catalan boats and beachfront promenades make this a colorful and inviting destination.  We enjoyed 2 days here, dining on shellfish and other specialities such as anchovies before returning to the Auvergne!
