Perpignan, Argelès-sur-Mer, and Collioure, France. Girona, Spain.

Collioure, France

We left Carcassonne and headed for Argelès-sur-Mer, via a very winding, scenic route.  We stopped in Perpignan for lunch, a French city in Catalonia. 

We checked into our hotel in Argelès-sur-Mer, which in the summer is a thriving beach town à la Ocean City or Rehoboth, except it's on the Mediterranean and at the base of the Pyranees.  For dinner we headed to Collioure, a small harbor town on Mediterranean that everyone said we must see.

On Sunday we decided to drive into Spain and JD found this great town to visit, Girona, an hour away.  The minute we entered Spain it was sunny and nice for the first time in weeks!  Girona was fabulous with an old, walled city and narrow streets, where we enjoyed a delicious leisurely meal outside before we dragged ourselves back to France.

On Monday it was a drive back to Toulouse for the flight home.
