Hoddy Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I am thinking of taking a family holiday on the Cote Vermeille, perhaps near Banyuls-sur-Mer, or even over the border in Spain. Has anyone who has visited this area any advice to offer ?Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maricopa Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Lovely area, but don't even think about trying to visit Collioure in July/August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Outside of high season Collioure is lovely though...http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/1018330/ShowPost.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maricopa Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Absolutely Cat, I love going there, just not in the high season......Perpignan itself is lovely, a must see is the Cathedral St Jean. Also you can drive into Spain and visit the Dali museum at Figueras and his house at Port Ligat (but you have to book in advance for that). Barcelona is close, but would recommend taking a train.One final point, it is the Pyrenees-Orientales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoddy Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 Thanks for the suggestions so far. I've corrected my silly mistake - so busy worrying about getting the spelling right I typed the wrong word.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward Trunk Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 If you're going to Barcelona leave anything remotely valuable somewhere secure (and I would repeat the advice not to take your car.) To know one or two people who've been robbed there might be par for the course, but I know eight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
