Collioure, a small harbour town in the Pyrénées-Orientales department in Occitanie, is one of the iconic stops on the Côte Vermeille. Backed against the first foothills of the Pyrenees and open onto the Mediterranean, the town concentrates its camping offer around the sea, with three listed establishments that make the most of this steep, colourful coastline.
People come to camp in Collioure for the Mediterranean light, the rocky coves and the atmosphere of a Catalan harbour still shaped by anchovy fishing. It's a destination that blends the seaside, heritage and the southern way of life, just a few kilometres from the Spanish border.
The town thus offers a rare balance between pebble beaches, quiet coves and a village life that stays lively all year round around the harbour. Collioure appeals both to those who love swimming in clear waters and to those who come above all for the village atmosphere and its daily market. The campsite here benefits from quick access to the historic centre, while staying away from summer traffic.
The Château Royal de Collioure, a fortress overlooking the harbour, and the bell tower of the Notre-Dame-des-Anges church, a former lighthouse converted into a waterside bell tower, are the two silhouettes that identify the town from the sea. The cobbled lanes of the historic centre, lined with colourful houses, invite a leisurely stroll between coves and inlets.
Collioure also owes its fame to anchovy fishing, a still-living tradition, and to the Fauvist painters, Matisse and Derain foremost among them, who came here to capture the Mediterranean light in the early twentieth century. The Côte Vermeille, which stretches between Collioure and the Spanish border, also offers numerous coastal paths for extending the exploration on foot.
The terraced vineyards overlooking the town, grown on the hillside right down to the sea, round out this Mediterranean landscape shaped by centuries of winegrowing. This distinctive relief, between sea and mountain, explains the very particular light that long drew artists to Collioure.
