I'm off to Collioure for a couple of weeks in July with my family and I'm thinking of taking my shoes with me. Unfortunalty I can't seem to find any info on whether there is any boulding there.

Does anyone know?

Thanks

Gary

Collioure is very pretty, but I don't think there's anything really close in the way of bouldering on the French side of the border

You'll be about 1 hour from Eus

and about 2 hours from Targasonne (might be a good bet in July)

I don't know about the Spanish side.

There's also a wall in perpignan http://deversud.com/

I may just take them anyway, just in case we go for a 'day out' to the places you've just mentioned!

Thanks matey :)

For anyone that cares...

It looks to me like there may be some local climbs after-all. Look at the shadows cast onto the rock

...

What do you recon? To Dangerous.

I've also been sifting through the photos that come up with google maps for Collioure, and there is something there!
