Your experience
Stop 1
Majestic, imposing, firmly anchored between the waves and the old town... Here you are in front of one of the last medieval seaside castles still standing in France: the Royal Castle of Collioure.
Stop 2
Here you are on Boramar Boulevard, the most emblematic seafront in Collioure. Between the royal castle on one side and the church of Our Lady of Angels on the other, this little bit of promenade offers one of the most beautiful panoramas in the Mediterranean.
Stop 3
Look up to the heights just above the bay. There, on the ridge, stands an imposing stone star: it is Fort Saint-Elme. Even from a distance, its massive figure catches the eye, like a silent guardian of Collioure and the entire Côte Vermeille.
Stop 4
It’s hard to ignore it: it sits on the water’s edge, with its feet almost in the Mediterranean. With its pink bell tower capped by a glazed tile dome, Notre-Dame-des-Anges church has become one of the symbols of Collioure.
Stop 5
You arrive at St. Vincent's Chapel, perched at the end of the pier. On your right... there, at the very end, appears a small discreet lighthouse, surrounded by salt air and the Mediterranean surf. It is not a military remnant, but a green port light, installed around 1886, with a wrought iron lampshade.
Stop 6
In front of you, placed on the rocks and beaten by the waves, the chapel of Saint Vincent seems almost to float between sky and sea. It marks the end of the pier, at the edge of the inhabited world. Built in 1701, it is said to have been erected on the supposed site of the martyrdom of Saint Vincent, patron saint of Collioure, according to a tenacious local tradition.
Stop 7
On your right, this building with blue shutters houses what is called the Fauvism House. It is not a museum in the classical sense, but a living place, entirely dedicated to artistic adventure that has brought Collioure into the history of modern art. It is here that you can learn more about the Fauvism movement, born here in the summer of 1905.
Stop 8
Here you are on Avenue Camille Pelletan, one of the main arteries of Collioure. Lively, lined with plane trees, it connects the station to the historic heart of the village. It is often here that the stays begin, because it makes the link between the Collioure of everyday life and that of postcards.
Stop 9
Here you are on the Place du Général Leclerc, one of the quietest and shaded squares in Collioure. At first glance, it is not spectacular. Yet, lined with plane trees and small typical houses, it embodies this discreet and authentic facet of the village, far from the hustle and bustle of the port.
Stop 10
You are in front of one of the oldest houses in Collioure still standing: Casa Quintana. Located in the heights of the village, it often goes unnoticed, and yet it deserves to be studied
Stop 11
On your right is the entrance to the Collioure cemetery. It is interesting to visit it because inside is the tomb of Antonio Machado, one of the greatest Spanish poets of the 20th century.
Stop 12
Opposite you stands the Protestant Temple of Collioure, also called Reformed Church of France. This elegant building, with a discreet but refined style, was designed by the Danish architect Viggo Dorph Petersen and inaugurated on March 4, 1906, in the presence of Pastor Camille Lénard.
