Collioure is a little gem of a place in the Catalan region of France on the Mediterranean coastline near the French and Spanish border. It has a little port full of fishing boats, leisure boats and now boats for taking a trip around the local coastline. The latter option comes highly recommended, not only can you get a different perspective on Collioure itself, but you will also get to see some of the neighboring towns and the wonderful scenery around Collioure. The Spanish border is not too far away and consequently neither are the Pyrenees Mountains. In fact many people asking how to get to Collioure by air will find that flying into Barcelona or Gerona is a very viable option for visiting the Catalan regions of France. The nearest French airport of course is Perpignan, which is only about 1/2 and hour to 3/4's of an hour away from Collioure.If you did decide to take one of the Spanish options then a great way to get to Collioure is to take the coast road through the Costa Brava and over the Pyrenees into France. Wonderful scenery, not typical of the Spanish coastline as Costa Brava actually means rugged coast where much of the Spanish coastline is more typically wide open, sandy beaches. So Spain into France on its Eastern coast is a very nice option.
