Collioure - For Color


Famous for making Matisse a Fauve.......


Collioure is a sweet, slightly touristy small town


originally famous for it's sardines.

Now it's possible to find there...wines of the terroir


oysters, too, at the market......


artisanal cider


but mostly, quiet streets


arty moments (no lace curtains?  paint your own!  L-O-V-E-L-Y)


story book views


and

R.


Collioure could possibly


change your perspective


on life.  You could withdraw from the world


  to Collioure, to spend your moments praying on the greater ideas that shape our lives.


Or contemplating and practicing the beauty that surrounds you.  And the making 


of it.  By your hands, or another's.


Or you could just plump for the sweet life.


Hanging out with your good buddies from morning to night.


Then eventually and ultimately..... tuck into some safe haven.  Just to do the same tomorrow.


Collioure says "Yes" to life.  And to the little bit of FAUVE in us all.

(Hope it was a good Thanksgiving!  For those of you who had turkey.  xoxo)
