La Corniche

Located in the foothills of the Pyrenees, not far from Spain, in a triangle formed by Barcelona to the south and Toulouse and Montpellier to the north, Roussillon awaits you. Between the mountains and the sea, this land is totally Catalan, a place renowned for its local specialities and colours, enriched by a prestigious artistic, cultural and historical heritage, a land of plenty also enjoying more hours of sunshine than anywhere else in France.

It is the perfect base for diving and swimming freely along a coastal path made famous by the legend of Dolphy the Dolphin, as well as for experiencing the joys of water sports (boat, catamaran and jet-ski hire, scuba diving, windsurfing, kite-surfing, parasailing…) and also taking a stroll in the historic centre of magical Collioure, thereby following in the footsteps of Derain, Duffy, Matisse and Picasso, while finally being able to meet the sky with your head in the clouds high up on the ridge path (hiking, mountain biking) which will lead you to Banyuls-sur-Mer… This is the landscape awaiting you if you decide to pay us a visit.

 The Grand Hôtel du Golfe is unquestionably as elegant as it is comfortable, on the road to enjoying unforgettable, unusual, cultural or sporting holidays: Barcelona and its famous Sagrada Familia is less than a two-hour-drive by motorway; Figueras and its well-known Dalí Museum; Perpignan and its ‘àcentmètresduboutdumonde’ Centre of Modern Art just 20 kilometres from the hotel is not be missed either; nor is Céret with its Museum of Modern Art, its plane trees, Catalan street market along with its café terraces; just down the road from the Grand Hôtel du Golfe lies Collioure with its church tower, Château Royal, anchovies, wine, artists and festivals; Argelès-sur-Mer with its beaches (and a family beach at Le Racou with its quaintly-designed little houses), its marina, pine trees, nature reserves and its unique summer life in Languedoc Roussillon; the Albère mountains for hiking, or just relax and watch the world go by: it’s all left to your imagination, your tastes… and the colours of the day.

From the Grand Hôtel du Golfe everything is within easy reach. Everything is sheer bliss. If you just make the effort, you’ll reap the reward.
