The permitted area, in practice

The day's playground: Roussillon’s only natural deep-water harbour, a notch in the Côte Vermeille between Collioure and Cap Béar, within the boundary drawn in the contract by the operator. Sky-wise: a tramontane that accelerates around Cap Béar, with the coves giving honest shelter — schedule around the morning sea.
