Dc Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 My wife & I & the dog need a holiday sometime in October! Can anybody recommend somewhere in the south, close to a beach for walks/perhaps fishing, close to restaurants/bars and places of interest. Any advice greatly appreciated.regardsdc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 You could try Collioure, it's a very pretty, compact little seaside town, not too touristy out of season, no big high-rise hotels (unlike its neighbouring seaside resorts). There's lots to visit, and it's only a few kilometres away from the Spanish border, if you wanted to pop over there for a day. Lots of people say it is like St Tropez used to be, before it was "discovered", and it was a great favourite of the artist Henri Mattise.The official site of Collioure is http://www.collioure.com/gb/index-gb.htm and you can read reviews written by people who have stayed there here... http://www.tripadvisor.com/Travel-g187152-s1/Collioure:France:Inside.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue Smith Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Try Gruissan, nearest town Narbonne. Beach, bars, restaurants and plenty to see and do in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gardengirl Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I would also choose Colliour. We visited for the first time in March, and loved the place itself, the light and the colours. We stayed in a hotel with lovely views, and loved pottering around,. We thought the little train ride was superb - right up high in amongst the vines - superb views! Don't know if it still runs in Oct.Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
