Day 2: Toulouse /
Carcassonne / Perpignan (B,D)
Arrive at
Carcassonne. Visit the citadel which dominates the old
town. It's a town within a town, a maze of narrow cobbled
streets within severe ramparts of thick walls and turreted
towers, but bustling with life and colour.
Perpignan is an
enjoyable city with a lively street life. Its heyday was in
the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, when the kings of
Majorca held their court here. Located on the Mediterranean
coast at the foot of the Eastern Pyrenees there is a heady
mix of French and Catalonian culture. Dinner
and
overnight in Perpignan.

Villefranche de Conflent / Ceret / Perpignan (B,D)
is situated at
the confluence of several rivers and the foot of the Canigou
Mountain. St Peter’s Church is the most important monument
of the town, rebuilt in the 17th century to replace a
Romanesque church.
Villefranche de Conflent
is a mediaeval walled city
founded in the XIth century and further fortified in the XVIIth
century by the most famous and effective French military
architect Marechal Vauban. Villefranche is one of the 14
areas chosen to represent the work of Vauban and to be
accepted as a UNESCO world heritage site.

:
The Museum of Modern Art at: nearby Ceret has works by many

Day 4: Cadaques &
Salvador Dali's Triangle/ Perpignan (B,D)
-
Cadaques
is a traditional Mediterranean fishing village with steep
cobbled streets, white-washed houses and surrounded by olive
groves. It owes its notoriety to the artists who passed
through (Matisse, Picasso, Max Ernst ...) and especially
Salvador Dali who made it 'his village'. Depart for Figueres
and 'Salvador Dali’s Triangle.
-
The life and
works of Salvador Dali from Figueres are condensed into
three emblematic areas: The Dali Theatre-Museum in
Figueres perfectly represents Dali's extravagant nature
combining the collection of his works and installations.
-
The House-Museum
in Portlligat a small village
adjacent to Cadaques is the place where Dali lived with his
wife Gala for many years (till 1982) and created the major
part of his works. The house in Portlligat is probably the
most interesting one of all three museums - it is a private
place built step by step incorporating many amusing ideas.
-
The Pubol
Castle where he spent last days of his life. The Gala Dali
Castle in Pubol allows visitors to discover a mediaeval
building in which Salvador Dali lent material form to an
exuberant creative effort with his mind set on one person,
Gala. Dinner and Overnight in Perpignan.

|
Day 5: Perpignan /
Elne /Collioure / Toulouse (B,D)
-
Elne :
13
km south of Perpignan, on the way to the resorts of the Cote
Vermeille lies the town of Elne. It's worth a stop for its
fortified, partially Romanesque cathedral and
extremely beautiful cloister.
-
Collioure:
The heritage of Collioure is the result of a rich history of successive
invasions. Monuments were built, destroyed and built again.
In 1905, Matisse and Derain discovered Collioure and
invented the Fauvist Art movement. Free time in Collioure
and depart for Toulouse.
Dinner and Overnight in Toulouse.
