Can you ever find that authentic French experience, or is it simply a myth? France is a nation of huge diversity and nowhere reflects this more than Collioure.
Is it French? Is it Catalan? Whatever Collioure is, it is the perfect holiday location to immerse yourself in a relaxed, sun-drenched, Mediterranean culture, steeped in history and bristling with cosmopolitan fervour.
About the cottage
The kitchen is completely modernised, ideal for a self-catering break, and the dining set comfortably seats eight. For entertainment, there is a CD/DVD player.
From an upstairs balcony, you can wake up to stunning views over vineyards, the fort and windmill.
For al fresco dining on those long balmy summer evenings, the cottage has a private rear patio, with a built-in BBQ, outdoor sink and dining furniture. The cottage also has a secure garage.
Rue du Soleil is a narrow cobbled street, featured in a painting by Matisse.
