    Ouille Beach

    The beach of Ouille, between Collioure and Racou, is a real paradise. This confidential beach is mostly frequented by locals or customers of neighboring campsites. With its small pebbles, it extends about 100 meters below the cliffs of the Côte Vermeille. This beach, very quiet even in high season, however, is not monitored and parking to access is quite far. In short, a great place to be away from the crowd.

Description

  1. Some big steps cut out of schist (a type of thin, layered rock) lead to the top of the cliff. Then it’s necessary to pass on the right by the concrete platform of a cannon built during the German occupation.  
  2. Then go down to the thalweg, and cross it by the wooden footbridge. Get back to the  entryway of the property« d'en Bertrand».
  3. Proceed straight on alongside  the defensive wall. On the right Fort Rond and Fort Carré  (the  round fortress and the square fortress), defensive system in the XVIII century,will appear, and on the other side is the Miradou fortress, which  became a National Commando Training Center .
  4. This part of the tour ends  at the carpark of the Collioure stadium.
