Collioure is famous for anchovies. Served several different ways, these fish are much different than the little minnows in a tin, and a lot more expensive. We headed out fairly early one morning from our backstreet hotel room to find the day's delivery for one restaurant waiting by the rear entry.
This town has many wandering cats, so it was strange to see these prized fish left out on the street. I suppose the proprietor wasn't too far behind, or maybe all of the cats in this part of town have been dealt with? I have had the little beggars surround me at dinner before, I guess by early morning they are well fed and asleep.

Collioure is the "most romantic" town on the southern Mediterranean coast of France. It is an artists' refuge with many small shops that sell the local work. An historic fort guards the entrance to the small protected harbor, a common subject of photos and paintings.
