Ciné-balade à Collioure is a chance to visit Collioure from the cinema's point of view! Catherine Blin takes you on a tour of the locations where some of the most memorable films were shot.

You'll relive some of the scenes from the film ‘Le Petit Baigneur’ and find out why Collioure was transformed into a Spanish village for the film ‘Le fils de Caroline Chérie’.

At the end of the walk, you'll enter the Templiers hotel-bar, an establishment dating from the early 20th century that has welcomed many artists, painters and sculptors, who have left traces of their time in this beautiful house. Hundreds of works of art cover the walls of the bar, the stairwells and the large room on the 1st floor, where Catherine Blin will show you a series of film extracts and reports, enabling you to recognise the places mentioned throughout the walk.

Settle in and enjoy an aperitif or a refreshing drink of your choice as Catherine shares her passion for cinema. She will comment on the film extracts, while revealing anecdotes, unique destinies and much more. She'll tell you all about the wonderful friendship that developed between Jacques Perrin and P'tit Louis, a former fisherman and well-known Collioure figure, during the making of a film in Collioure.

Catherine Blin's aim is to show you that Collioure has been a meeting place and creative centre for many artists, painters and writers, as well as directors and film stars, and that the town is still very active in the film industry, with many films and French series being shot here.
