Collioure, Mediterranean coastal commune in Pyrénées-Orientales, France
Collioure extends along the Vermilion Coast with its white buildings, narrow streets, and a harbor framed by a medieval castle and church bell tower.
The settlement, first mentioned as Castrum Caucoliberi in 673, transformed from a Visigoth stronghold into a French territory following the Treaty of Pyrenees in 1659.
The town attracted numerous artists in the early 1900s, including Henri Matisse and André Derain, who established the Fauvist movement inspired by local colors and light.
Visitors can explore the Royal Castle, walk through the harbor area, taste local anchovies, and sample wines from the Collioure Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée.
The Notre-Dame-des-Anges church bell tower, built from a medieval lighthouse, stands directly in the water and appears on countless paintings by French masters.
