Attractions in France
Collioure is a stunningly picturesque Catalan town on the coast to the south of Perpignan. It features as a star attraction in both the Lonely Planet and Rough Guide, for good reason. It really is the jewel of the South France coastline. The town is surrounded by steep hills and vineyards and has been host to many famous artists, including Matisse and Derain who were part of the Fauvists group of painters.
The Eiffel Tower is an 1889 iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris that has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tallest building in Paris, it is the most-visited paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. Named for its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair. The tower stands 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building.
Through reconstructed settings, the Quercorb Museum shows how people use to live in Cathar country: a kitchen, a forge, a wood-turning workshop, cow bells, medieval musical instruments; and the orchard and its impressive still. Artefacts, people, videos, music, sounds and smells transport you from the rooms to the garden, from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.
