Collioure is a small fishing port on the Mediterrean coast near the Spanish border. In the early 20th century it was a favourite haunt of the Fauvists; Matisse, Dufy, Dupain etc. Many of the houses along the pretty, narrow streets are painted in vivid colours, recognising their Fauvist style of painting.
