Hiking

With a length of 17 kilometers, this route consists of connecting the Collioure station to that of Banyuls-sur-Mer along the coast. Nicknamed “the pearl of the Côte Vermeille”, Collioure benefits from an authentic setting within a protected environment between the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees.

Departing from Collioure train station, you start by discovering the emblematic Catalan port. A small coastal passage leads to Port-Vendres, also with a pretty port.
You then approach Cape Béar passing under its fort. Around a bend, a new panorama reveals itself. The path continues, suggesting numerous coves and beaches which follow one another in a marvelous setting.

The beaches of Forat and Elmes are a sign that you are approaching your destination. Banyuls-sur-Mer presents itself to you through a beautiful view of its bay. You quickly reach its seafront which offers a final moment of relaxation before jumping on the train.

Collioure

Highlight • Settlement

Nestled between sea and mountains, Collioure is a wonderful village on the Mediterranean coast. Its Catalan fishing port has punctuated the life of its inhabitants for centuries while having inspired artists such as Picasso. Located in a remarkable natural setting, the city has many trails that criss-cross the coastline with its many coves and fine sandy beaches.

Banyuls-sur-Mer Beach

Highlight • Beach

Banyuls is a real postcard town with its bay, its beach and the mountains in the background. Whether you like to bask in the sun or hike (on the coastal path or on the heights, for example up to the Tour Madeloc or the Tour Querroig), you will not be bored there.

A wonderful up-and-down route on the first part of the coastal path along the Côte Vermeilles, with stunning views and a varied route.
Not recommended in rain or storms.
Refreshments are possible in Port Vendres.

Demanding hike to Cap Béar, a little disappointing in its arrival at Port-Vendre and Collioure.
Ideally, reach Collioure by the interior, in the middle of the vineyards.

This route hike along the beautiful Purple Coast has it all. Over a distance of 15 km, there are steep ascents and descents over stony paths at around 500 meters in altitude
The effort is worth it, because the views along the rocky coast, the small bays and the beautiful villages are a dream
We parked in Port Vendres at …

The bus line between Perpignan and Banyuls is very practical: for €1 per trip you can go to a starting point for the tour or back at the end. In the pre-season the bus runs about once an hour.

Mostly well signposted path with beautiful views. Took the train from Collioure to Banyul sur Mer and then hiked back.

Such a beautiful coastal hiking trail!!! I'm thrilled!! This is one of 10 official stages of the Sentier du Littoral, which runs along the entire Côte Vermeille to the Costa Brava in Spain.

Showing Translation

Along the Sentier de Littoral is a nice route 😊 because there is a lot on offer here (that's why so many, many pictures 📷). The sea with its cliffs with hidden bays for swimming, beaches of small seaside resorts. In the background the mountains with some vineyards.
Old fortifications from the old days or from WW2 can also be …
