Departure
Departure takes place at the port of Argelès-sur-Mer, nestled at the foot of the Albères mountains, where the Pyrenées plunge into the Mediterranean sea.

Sailing along this coastline, we pass in front of Collioure, a royal historical city, whose reputation is not to be made any more. Pearl of the Côte Vermeille, it conceals exceptional architectural treasures whose charm has remained intact.

Heading for the classified site of the Anse de Paulilles
A trip to a listed site, steeped in history, in a breathtaking panorama.
Arrival in the calm waters of the classified site of Anse de Paulilles, once a dynamite factory, a bay with a rich past, superbly rehabilitated.
