Day 16 - Wednesday, May 9th - Arles to Collioure

Today we travel from Arles to Collioure, also along the Mediterranean but on the other side of the Mediterranean just a few miles from the border of Spain.  Our drive to Collioure is not too far so we took a detour to visit Abbaye Fontroide, southwest of Narbonne.  It was a beautiful abbey with well manicured grounds.  We hit the abbey right at lunchtime so we took the opportunity to have our lunch at the picnic tables provided at the abbey instead of eating in the car.

From there we headed into Collioure and arrived just as the sun decided to appear for the afternoon.  Collioure is a beautiful, picturesque seaside town with a lovely castle right in the middle.

Terry captured this photo of the fishing boats in Collioure,

while Martha shot this beautiful photo from the balcony of her hotel of the Royal Castle lit up at night.
