From Margaret, France

Margaret, Collioure, France

My previous partner introduced me to Collioure in May 2000. I needed to escape from a miserable 2 years in Falmouth. I found my house online via a 2-3 sentence description only in January 2001 and moved to Can Parterre in May 2001 when transport permitted my cat to join me. I am so lucky to live in such beautiful environment.
