Criques De Porteils - Where the mountains meet the sea

Where the Pyrénées meet the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea you’ll find Criques de Porteils - Eurocamp’s latest French destination. Brand new for 2009, the parc is nestled on a rocky Languedoc cove on the southernmost coastline of France. It’s just a short walk from the picturesque harbour village of Collioure and 15 miles from both Perpignan and the Spanish border.

A small, truly authentic parc, Criques de Porteils boasts several small private beaches ideal for sunbathing and snorkelling. This makes it the perfect setting for a cultural, relaxing holiday just a short drive away from the larger nearby resorts and attractions of Argelès Plage.

With a warm Mediterranean climate – of mild winters, hot summers and refreshing coastal breezes - Collioure enjoys an average 320 days of sunshine each year.

Open from 4 April to 26 September 2009, Criques de Porteils is an ideal Easter holiday destination as well as during the summer and after the children go back to school.

Parc facilities include: small pool; shop; bar; takeaway; restaurant and barbecues equipment are provided. To keep the children amused there’s an animateur, as well as basketball; fishing; tennis; volleyball; internet access and WiFi facilities for the whole family.

Reflective of its beautiful surroundings - and with the origins of Catalan ‘art de vivre’ based in Collioure - Criques de Porteils also runs art classes for adults.

For your complete flexibility, choose from self-drive, car hire, TGV rail from Paris to Perpignan and flights to Perpignan–Rivesaltes airport - serviced from the UK by low cost airlines BMI Baby, Ryan Air and Fly Be.

Eurocamp’s Chris Hilton says: "Situated in the most unique location, you can do as much or as little as you like at Criques de Porteils. Simply by opening the door you’ll get to experience the breathtaking freedom of the outdoors and beautiful scenery.”
