Collioure is an old fishing port on the French Mediterranean coast about half an hour from the Spanish border.
It was made famous by painters such as Matisse and Derain who came here in the early years of the 20th century. They worked here for several years founding the movement that became known as Fauvism.
Behind the apartment, you can walk up through the vineyards. In the autumn you can see the grapes being picked for the local co-operative. A couple of hours walking takes you into the foothills of the Pyrenees.
