COLLIOURE, FRANCE
We chose Collioure for its warm, casual and welcoming personality, and to celebrate the carefree spirit of French summer holidays on the coast. Located a few miles away from the Spanish border, the pretty seaside town shares a common history, culture, and independent attitude with its Catalan cousins.

FROM BARCELONA AIRPORT
Barcelona is the nearest international airport. You can either take a 2h00 (120 miles) drive directly from the airport, or chose to take the cross-border train to Perpignan (France) + another short train ride to Collioure.
Perpignan is also a stunning town, and offers car rentals.
FROM PARIS AIRPORT
If you’re arriving from Paris, this route will take you about 7h00, and also involves a train connection.
Take a “TGV” train down to Nîmes - Pont Du Gard. Then either drive, or take the slower coastal route “TER” train to Collioure.
OUR SUGGESTION for FAR-FLUNG FRIENDS
Plan to arrive in the area a few days to a week before the date. You’ll get the opportunity to explore Spain or the surrounding region and avoid the stress and hassle of rush traveling to the town / venue. We may also want to set up a fun group hang the day before…
