Some 30 years ago we bought a small holiday property in France. We knew France well, through our tourist business, so there was no question of where we wanted to buy. Collioure, in Pyrénées-Orientales, is the most beautiful port town. The location was ideal for us, at the end of the French motorway system with easy access to Spain and the Palafrugell area, where we had our Catalan contacts.
Our one-bedroom apartment was ready to move into, with a small balcony looking south to Port-Vendres and out to sea. The residence had a pool and communal gardens with a caretaker. The property also had an active rental business, with mainly French customers.
