Tuesday 11th September 2012 Paziols, France

Today Helen, Rod, Lyndsay and I were let loose to drive to a town called  Collioure, which is quite close to the Spanish border, about  1 ½ hr  drive from Paziols. However the TomTom had another fit over the D117 being closed and again using real and  Google maps to get us to the coast, we eventually arrived in Collioure after about  2 ½ hours driving but then had good fortune and some brave car park guarding by Lynds to get a park right by the beach.
However it was all worth it as this town is truly delightful.



We had a wonderful long lunch at an open air  restaurant overlooking the harbour,



 
 
With fantastic food





had a walk around the town,



pleasant swim in the sea and  headed off home uneventfully  by different route which avoided going anywhere near D117
