The bucket-list things to do — and who runs each one.

Walk Collioure's Mouré quarter and harbor at first light with a working artist, tracing the exact spots Matisse and Derain painted in 1905.
A private early-entry visit to the seafront fortress with a historian guide, covering Templar, Aragonese, and French Vauban layers of the castle.
An open-top 2CV drive along the terraced vineyards and cliff roads of Banyuls and Cerbère, with stops for photos and a tasting.
A short, unhurried visit to the pink-domed seafront church built on a rock, with its rare Baroque gilded retables and lighthouse bell tower.
A guided climb to the 16th-century star fort above town for uncrowded panoramic views over Collioure, Port-Vendres, and the Côte Vermeille.
Watch the pre-dawn anchovy and fish auction at Port-Vendres, then wander the harborside market with a local food guide before returning to Collioure.
