Port-Vendres, France

Charming and quaint. Two adjectives which are perfect when describing this little known destination. Its location in France is just north of the Spanish border on the Mediterranean. It is well known for its numerous fish and seafood restaurants. The local population here is only about 4,000 people.

Typical of this and most fishing villages are flowers. Plantings are almost anywhere you go.
