Collioure is just as charming in winter as in any other season! If you’re looking for peace and quiet and activities to do at your own pace, Collioure is the right choice for you!
Wellness accommodation for a weekend of pampering, rejuvenating outdoor activities and comforting food & drink are all on the programme!
In December, Collioure is transformed into a fairytale village as soon as the “Light on the Sea” festival is kicked off, followed by the famous New Year’s Eve celebrations on 31 December, with magnificent fireworks display!
Favourites ❤️
December is the season of festivities in Collioure!
Sun and salty air in the middle of winter!
We never miss a winter without filling up on salty sea air and sunshine in Collioure, as Collioure stays sunny all year round!
A stroll along the beaches and coves of Collioure is a must!
A relaxing break for some much-needed pampering!
In the cosy winter months, there’s a selection of wellness accommodation.
You can expect massage, Jacuzzi and reading overlooking the bay of Collioure. What a pleasure!
With the calm of the sea and the tranquillity of the streets, rest and relaxation are the order of the day!
Hiking to recharge your winter batteries!
To fully recharge your batteries, a walk along the coastal path or to the Tour Madeloc completes our winter programme.
Along the coastal path, you’ll come across sandy and pebble beaches, charming little villages and historic monuments.
The Tour Madeloc offers a 360° panoramic view of the Vermeille coast! A great seaside getaway in the middle of winter!
Even in winter, culture is all around!
- The Collioure cultural experience begins with a guided tour of the Château. Our guide takes us on a fascinating journey through the ages and the conquest of the land. Our tour alternates between stories, historic anecdotes and exceptional views over the bay of Collioure!
- After the tour, we discover the immersive film “Explora”, taking us back in time in a fictionalised atmosphere to explore the mysteries of this unique site.
- We end our cultural experience with a visit to the exhibition at the Modern Art Museum.
The Château Royal and Museum are open all year round!
Wine and anchovy tasting in Collioure!
You can also indulge in a wine tasting in one of Collioure’s wine cellars or wine bars, finishing with a visit to the anchovy producers to taste the famous Collioure anchovies.
As a bonus in winter, you’ll have the full attention of the person hosting the tasting!
In December, we recommend the “Lumière sur Mer” (Lights on the Sea) illuminations
The “Lights on the Sea” illuminations transport us into a magical atmosphere.
The bay of Collioure is transformed into the stage for static lighting on the Château Royal, the church and the Chapelle Saint Vincent.
It’s a visual show, so don’t expect there to be a story.
You can enjoy this show well into the evening and night!
Making the most of the Christmas festivities
In December, Collioure holds the fabulous Collioure Christmas festivities, with brass bands, street shows, illuminations and the New Year’s Eve party to delight us and our families.
Test the “Collioure, the journey begins” app!
Embark on an exciting self-guided tour with Henri Matisse and André Derain!
In winter, the light is less intense and the streets are quieter.
It’s an ideal time of year to use the app to get a good view of the points of interest and listen to the audio explanations.
Stroll through the streets of Collioure and let yourself be carried away by the points of interest you’ll find along the way!
