The Light and Colours of Southern France

The intense light and vibrant colours – natural or man-made – under a warm, Mediterranean sun are part of the charm of the South of France coast: the pastel shades of the house facades, the boats or buoys in bright colours, the blooming spring meadows and bougainvillea, the ripe grapes or red coastal rocks. In Collioure on the Côte Vermeille, everything comes together.

Town, country, and harbour offer a multitude of motifs, whose colour and tonality glow cool and harsh or warm and soft depending on the time of day and sunlight. Dusk, midday light, or the evening illumination always create different, individual moods.
