Collioure town (Collioure) is located in the south of France Languedoc -- Lu Xiweng (Languedoc-Roussillon) area, from the French eastern Pyrenees in the provincial capital of Perpignan (Perpignan) is only about 40 minutes. Because it is very close to Spain, the Mediterranean coastal town with a bit of Spanish style. It is not only a long history, and is called the "colors of the paradise of europe".

The castle, sea and the sea

In Spain and France at the junction of Collioure town (Collioure) has given numerous artists, such as Picasso, Matisse brought his painting, although the area is not large, but the French "back garden", every summer will become the summer resort.

The small town, the French visitors accounted for the majority, is full of holidaymakers french. Located by the sea in the 13~18 Century Royal Castle is bound to the tourists, with more than 100 years of history in the castle, in recent years become art performance troupes, many local concerts, exhibitions are held here. From the castle overlooking the Mediterranean above, day is blue, the scenery spectacular. Castle holds a long seawall, blowing a strong wind blowing from the sea, there is accidentally blown by the wind, may. The kind of transparent, thorough, the ecstasy of blue, everything seems to be swallowed up by the visitors around, even the soul. Great clouds in the clear water to cast dark shadow, look for a long time, feeling that the whole people want to fly. Village, the beautiful Mediterranean roared into, but the castle and the levee solid block in outside.

After the castle, walk along the waterfront, is the 1 beach in 4. This coffee shop would take the beach chairs to the sea, let visitors while sunbathing, drinking cold drinks. The price of beverage and the city almost, not because here is a tourist area is very expensive. From the beach to walk a path up the mountain, along the path has been, is the local residential area.

By the way, can catch up with the morning market, from the train station, walk about 10 minutes to see. The market sells species ranging from cheese, olives, clothes, art, although the price is not cheap, but some homemade spices, T-shirt, mirrors and other products quality is very high, there may be unexpected harvest.

Beauty is like an impressionist painting.Beauty is like an impressionist painting.

Red, orange, yellow, green competitive profusion

The painter Henry Mathis once said: "there's no place in the sky more blue than Collioure Town, as long as I opened the shutters in front of the room, have all the colors of the Mediterranean sea." Never Collioure are not imagine, really have a place like the Impressionist paintings, there are so many colours, so strong.

Starting from the Perpignan train station, about 45 minutes to reach the collioure. Not to the town has to "scare" down, the blue sky and the sea is too much, just like a bottle of ink down, blue, without blemish. Slowly a variety of colors "surge" into the eyes, bright yellow, pink, green apple, also a brilliant purple. Never thought, there is a place where you can put so many colors are used up, use so extreme, and so harmonious. Every house walls are painted is tender and full of color. Collioure is the original village, a painter's bright house, just because the fishermen living in hardship, had to take the ship with leftover paint paint paint. Due to fishing color bright, so that the identification in the vast sea, paint the house wall, just as lovely toy house, also became the most attract artists and tourists characteristics.

Residents from the balcony can see typical Mediterranean city characteristic, all kinds of flowers and green climbing plant, naturally or half unconsciously, and the house of a very artistic style of the scene.

The famous footprints can be found at any time

No map, can be blind around in the town shopping, the benefits in this town. You don't have to take the map, looking for famous landmarks like the "scenic spot". Just strolling the mood, slowly surrounding scenery. Meet beauty, pick up the camera in the hand, do not care about the angle, light. "Click" sound, the record is then moved by you.

The sale of refined products at home, small sculptures and paintings shops scattered. Because many famous artists such as Matisse, Picasso, Daly's visit, so many art lovers come later, some of these people have not gone to town, gathered a lot of artists. If your eyes are good enough, you can find the art world "star of tomorrow" in here.

Tired, sitting on the beach, the wind blowing gently, let the sun covered the body. Looking at the distant hills in the church, although not to hear the bell, also do not feel the call of God, but the heart very quiet. Perhaps, only peace of mind, to be able to feel the beauty of the town.
