Collioure: In the footsteps of Fauvism

In May 1905, Matisse and Derain discovered Collioure, and from this moment on "Fauvism" was born. From their walks, the two painters recorded on canvas images of the village, such as the belltower, the castle, fishing nets hung up to dry, boats leaving the port, women mending nets ... and windows. A "living Museum" based on reproductions of 20 Matisse and Derain canvases has been installed in the streets of Collioure.

Elne
26 centuries of uninterrupted history

The town of Elne is an important archeological centre, set above its old Roman fortifications and overlooking the entire Roussillon plain. The XIth century cathedral and the marble cloister, built between the XIIth and the XIV centuries, bear witness to the important episcopal see. The cloister is one of the marvels of Roussillon art. A museum is dedicated to Etienne Terrus, a painter native of Elne and a friend of Maillol.
