Port Vendres cruise port guide
The gem of the Vermillion Coast, the chosen retreat of kings past, the inspiration of great 20th-century artists, Collioure is nestled in a small, rocky bay, dwarfed by the Alberes Mountains. The village is perfectly integrated into the countryside; the church and the stone chateau are the color of the rocks, the beach and the mountains. The town has kept much of its medieval character, with the bay separated into halves by the 13th-century royal castle of the Kings of Mallorca. Between the castle and the sea is a bustling old town, full of cafes, shops and art galleries. Among the great artists who have congregated here are Matisse, Picasso, Braque, Dufy and Derain.
About Port Vendres
Port-Vendres is a small fishing port and commune in the Pyrénées-Orientales department of southern France, near the Spanish border on the Côte Vermeille. One of the few deep-water ports on this section of the French Mediterranean coast, it can accommodate cruise ships and is known for its seafood restaurants, Catalan heritage, and proximity to Collioure.
The Louis XVI-era obelisk, decorated with bas-reliefs celebrating the American Revolution and French Navy, anchors the waterfront. Nearby Collioure (4 km), where Matisse and Derain invented Fauvism in 1905, is the region's premier excursion — the Royal Castle of Collioure, painted church tower and colourful harbour are iconic. The coastal path along the red-rock Côte Vermeille leads to Banyuls-sur-Mer, home to one of France's oldest wine appellations.
