An Unbelievably Cheap Day Trip to Collioure, France, Collioure, France
It鈥檚 always nice to finish a trip on a high note. At the tale end of my month in France in 2019, I was staying in the southern city of Perpignan. With not much planned there, it was only good fortune that led me to make excellent use of my last day in the country. Recommendations are always useful in this situation and when both my Airbnb host and a friend suggested a Collioure day trip from Perpignan, how could I resist?
Before that trip I鈥檇 never even heard of Collioure in France, a small seaside town on the Mediterranean just up from Spain. But for two different people to heartily suggest it, convinced me to substitute more time in Perpignan for a sea change. It helped that it had been weeks since I was last on the coast in聽Marseille. Even better was that I lucked out with good weather for mid-November. All of this, together with the undeniable charms of Collioure and how absurdly affordable it turned out to be, made it a day trip to remember.
One of the most appealing parts of planning a day trip to Collioure is just how accessible it is. I say accessible, because it鈥檚 not only easy but also probably the cheapest day trip in France you鈥檒l find. To reach Collioure from Perpignan, you simply take the聽#540 bus聽from Perpignan. You can take the bus from the Perpignan Mercader bus stop and get off 50 metres from the Collioure Beach. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
