The Coastline
; "The scenic Mediterranean coastline - click to enlarge")
The sandy Mediterranean coastline of Languedoc-Roussillon stretches south as far as Argelès-sur-Mer. Then, within rowing distance of the Spanish border, the wild, rocky headlands of the Côte Vermeille rise out of the sea. The seaside towns in this corner of Languedoc-Roussillon are full of character and a sense of past glories. Great painters like Matisse and Picasso once found inspiration in the beauty of ports such as Collioure, Banyuls, Port-Vendres and Cerbère.
