[destination_description] => <h2 class="_ophorus_title _big_content _text_none _line">Port Vendres Travel Guide (Occitanie, France)</h2>
<p>Discover the small port town of Port-Vendres in the Languedoc Roussillon region of France just north of the Spanish border on the Vermeille (Vermilion) Coast. Port Vendres is a natural deep water port that has been an important commercial stop since Roman times.</p>
<p><strong>Port-Vendres</strong></p>
<p>The small town takes its name from Venus (Portus Veneris) and it is believed the town dates back to Roman times. During the Middle Ages Port Vendres was part of the kingdom of Majorca and was a main connection point between the mainland and the Balearic Islands. In 1659 the Treaty of the Pyrenees marked the entrance of the Roussillon region as part of French territory and so Port Vendres became French.</p>
<p><strong>The Obelisk</strong></p>
<p>This monument is without a doubt the most emblematic of the town with a hight of over 30 meters (100 feet). This is the unique Obelisk to be dedicated to King Louis XVI during his reign. It is made with white marble from Estagel and its base is composed of red and white marble from Conflent.</p>
<p>At the top, the Oblelisk is crowned with a globe and a Fleur de Lys, the emblem of French Royalty. Other than 4 bronze turtles there are trophies that represent the 4 continents. The base is also decorated with 4 low relief that commemorate highlights of the reign of Louis XVI - the Independance of America, the Navy relieved, the abolishment of Servitude in France and the freedom of Commerce.</p>
<p>One of the low relief of the Obelisk represents the Independance of America. The sculpture depicts a French Royal frigate bringing the treaty of Commerce signed by France in 1778 to the American Insurgents. This low relief created in 1780 was done before the signature of the Treaty of Paris of 1783 that recognized the Independance of America.</p>
<p><strong>The Fanal Fort</strong></p>
<p>In the 17th century, military architect Vauban considers the creation of a Naval Base and begins to have small forts built to defend the entrance. On the western side, Fort Fanal is built while to the South both Redoute Béar (destroyed in 1944) and Redoute Mailly are erected.</p>
<p><strong>Charles Rennie Mackintosh</strong></p>
<p>The Art Nouveau Scottish architect lived and painted in Port-Vendres from 1923 to 1927. While in Port-Vendres, he painted a number of watercolors including landscapes and architecture. There is a trail within the town that details his time in Port-Vendres and along which one can see the exact locations of where the painting were done.</p>
<p><span class="_highlight"><strong>Our Shore Excursions from Port-Vendres</strong></span></p>
<p>We organize small group private shore excursions departing from Port-Vendres to all the major landmarks this region has to offer. If you are visiting Port Vendres during your Cruise, we will come and pick you up directly at your ship or Port of call and have you visit or experience some of the most significant sights of the region.</p>
<p><span style="color: #f78e6f;"><strong>COLLIOURE VILLAGE & WINES</strong></span></p>
<p>Visit the small village of Collioure</p>
<p>The drive from Port Vendres to Collioure is just over 10 minutes but the drive is stunning through the Languedoc landscape. Upon arrival in Collioure, follow your guide as you walk the narrow streets of this small fishing village.</p>
<p> A fortified church so close to the sea that it seems to float, an old royal castle, colorful boats that seem ready to set out to catch the prized anchovies (a local specialty), this is enchanting Collioure. </p>
<p>No wonder artists such as Picasso, Braque, Dufy, Chagall, Matisse, and Derain came here as the village, the birthplace of the Fauvism painting movement boasts more than 300 days of sunshine per year. Another famous sculptor, Aristid Maillol, originates from nearby Banyuls sur Mer.</p>
<p>Followed by a Wine Tasting session</p>
<p>After the visit to the village and some free time, participate in a wine tasting session of local wines. The wine production in Collioure includes reds, rosés and a few white wines. The main grapes varieties that are used here include Shiraz, Mourvèdre, Grenache and Carignan which are similar to the grapes used in Languedoc wines. </p>
<p>Follow a locally guided tour of the winery and listen as the wine grower explains the techniques used here. After the visit, experience a wine tasting session of excellent wines of the region.</p>
<p>Wine making in the area began with the Greeks around the 6th century BP. For a long time under Spanish rule, the wines produced here have often been described as being more like Spanish wines than French. The red wines usually have softer tanins, and are full-bodied with spicy aromas. The rosés produced here have a nice raspberry color to them and can be very aromatic.</p>
<p>After the wine tasting session, it will be time to head back to your ship. Upon arrival in Port Vendres, we will drop you off at your ship and that will be the end of our services.</p>
<p><span style="color: #f78e6f;"><strong>CARCASSONNE HALF DAY OR FULL DAY SHORE EXCURSION</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Arrive in Carcassonne</strong></p>
<p>Reach the Medieval City of Carcassonne that looks like some fairy-tale medieval city. Bathed in the late-afternoon sunshine and highlighted by dark clouds, La Cité, as the old walled city is known, is truly breathtaking.</p>
<p>The visit of the Saint Nazaire Basilica with its outstanding stained-glass windows that date back to the middle ages is a must during your walking tour.</p>
<p>After the visit to the Cité, enjoy some free time for personal discovery. On a half day tour, it will be time to return to your ship in Port-Vendres, on the full day tour your program continues with the itinerary below.</p>
<p>Return to your ship - Half Day Shore Excursion</p>
<p>Free time in the Cité for lunch (at own expense) - Full Day Shore Excursion</p>
<p>You will also have some time for lunch so why not try one of the most famous dishes or the area: Cassoulet!</p>
<p><strong>Admire the Castles of Lastours</strong></p>
<p>In the afternoon, you will then have the opportunity to admire the Castles of Lastours. The location is a splendid archaeological site, with its four castles: Cabaret, Tour Régine, Surdespine and Quertineux.</p>
<p>Below, the medieval village of Cabaret is nestled deep in the valley. Upon arrival, discover the stunning panoramic view from the Belvedere. After the visit, you will then be taken to the small village of Minerve that gives its name to the Minervois region.</p>
<p><strong>Visit the most beautiful village of Minerve.</strong></p>
<p>Completely surrounded by deep canyons, the small Cathare Village of Minerve is a mineral location set in the heart of the Languedoc garrigue landscape.

Here you can shop for local arts & crafts, taste some delicious Minervois Wines or just wander in the village past bookshops or art galleries.</p>

[description] => <p><b>Capture The Best Of the Languedoc Region on this Full Day Private Shore Excursion from Port Vendres </b></p><p>Carcassonne looks like some fairy-tale medieval city. Bathed in late-afternoon sunshine and highlighted by dark clouds, La Cité, as the old walled city is known, is truly breathtaking. The visit of the Basilica with its outstanding stained-glass windows is a must. </p><p><b>Pick up at your Cruise Ship in Port Vendres</b></p><p>From Port Vendres Cruise Port depart for a full day private tour to the fortified city of Carcassonne one of the most famous Unesco World Heritage Sites of the region. On this full day trip to Carcassonne, we will first come and pick you up at your Ship located in Port Vendres. Meet your English speaking driver who will go over the itinerary and program of the day with you.</p><p>Then you will board your air-conditioned vehicle and it will be time to drive off to this day’s destination. The drive from Port Vendres to the medieval town & Cité of Carcassonne is just under 2 hours. As you drive, admire the Languedoc region landscape with its rolling hills, fields of bright yellow sunflowers and of course the Canal du Midi that you will follow until Carcassonne. This full day tour also enables you to take in some panoramic views of the area especially as you pass the Alaric mountain range.</p><p><b>Visit the Walled Town of Carcassonne – La Cité</b></p><p><b>A bit of History</b></p><p>The oldest traces of mankind - 6th century B.P - were found on the promontory where the now medieval Cité lies. Around 300 B.P, the Volques Tectosages brought the Iberians of Languedoc to submission.</p><p>In 122 B.P, the Romans conquered the Provence and the Languedoc regions of France. They fortified the oppidum which took the name of Carcaso and occupied our region until the middle of the 5th century. The Visigoths then became the masters of Spain and the Languedoc. The Cité remained in their hands from 460 to 725 A.D. In the spring of 725, the Saracens took the Cité. </p><p>They were driven away in 759 by Pépin le Bref, king of the Franks. After the death of Charlemagne, the dismembering of the Empire gave birth to the feudal system. It was under the dynasty of the Trencavels, from 1082 to 1209, that the town began to gain tremendous influence.</p><p>During this prosperous period, Catharism grew rapidly. Raymond Roger Trencavel, vicomte of Carcassonne (1194-1209) both tolerated and protected the heretics on his own lands. He suffered the first impact of the crusade preached by Pope Innocent III and on August 15th, 1209, after a two-week siege, it was all over. The Cité and the lands of Trencavel were first handed to the military commander of the crusade, Simon de Montfort, then to the King of France in 1224.</p><p>As the Cité made its entry into the Royal Estate, its destiny took a new turn. Under the successive reigns of Louis IX, Philippe Le Hardi and Philippe Le Bel, it grew its modern-day shape. A new borough was born on the left bank in 1262: La Bastide Saint-Louis. Set on fire by the Black Prince in 1355, it was immediately rebuilt. While this new town was bustling with activity, the Cité consolidated its role as a royal fortress.</p><p>But due to the use of new war techniques (gunpowder, cannon) and above all to the recession of the Franco-Spanish border in 1659 after the Peace of the Pyrénées, it was gradually abandoned. In the 18th century, the Cité was little more than a slum, a poverty-stricken, outlying area in a town made wealthy by the wine trade and the cloth manufacturing industry.</p><p>Only through the joint efforts of Jean-Pierre Cros-Mayrevieille, a historian and a citizen of Carcassonne, of Mérimée and the famous architect Viollet-le-Duc was it saved from demolition. Thousands of people today are able to see and admire the most accomplished fortified town in Europe.</p><p><b>Visit of Carcassonne with your licensed tour guide</b></p><p>Reach the cité de Carcassonne that looks like some fairy-tale medieval city. Bathed in late-afternoon sunshine and highlighted by dark clouds, La Cité, as the old walled city is known, is truly breathtaking. The fortress is the largest remaining fortified city in Europe. Follow your guide as you listen to the local stories and legends and be amazed by its old stones and its history.</p><p>Follow the ramparts with your guide, to get a feel of the medieval beauty of the biggest fortified city then stroll through the narrow streets lined with shops. Reach the Cathedral of Carcassonne. The visit of the Saint Nazaire Basilica with its outstanding stained-glass windows that date back to the middle ages is a must. </p><p><b>Free time for lunch</b></p><p>After your guided walking tour of Carcassonne, enjoy some free time for personal discovery and lunch (at own expense). There is a large choice of restaurants within the Cité so don't hesitate to ask your guide for recommendations. If you are interested in local food, why not try the most popular dish of the region: Cassoulet. This rich, slow-cooked stew contains meat, pork skin and white beans. Bon apétit!</p><p><b>Languedoc Wines tasting session</b></p><p>Upon return to your Cruise Ship, we will make a stop along the way in a carefully selected winery of the region. Here taste the bold red wines and fruity white wines of the region. Depending on the winery visited, you might also taste some Rosé wine as the Languedoc is by far the largest Rosé wine producing region of France. After your wine tasting session, we will take you back to Port Vendres and drop you off at your Cruise Ship.</p><p> </p>

[destination_description] => <h2 class="_ophorus_title _big_content _text_none _line">Port Vendres Travel Guide (Occitanie, France)</h2>
<p>Discover the small port town of Port-Vendres in the Languedoc Roussillon region of France just north of the Spanish border on the Vermeille (Vermilion) Coast. Port Vendres is a natural deep water port that has been an important commercial stop since Roman times.</p>
<p><strong>Port-Vendres</strong></p>
<p>The small town takes its name from Venus (Portus Veneris) and it is believed the town dates back to Roman times. During the Middle Ages Port Vendres was part of the kingdom of Majorca and was a main connection point between the mainland and the Balearic Islands. In 1659 the Treaty of the Pyrenees marked the entrance of the Roussillon region as part of French territory and so Port Vendres became French.</p>
<p><strong>The Obelisk</strong></p>
<p>This monument is without a doubt the most emblematic of the town with a hight of over 30 meters (100 feet). This is the unique Obelisk to be dedicated to King Louis XVI during his reign. It is made with white marble from Estagel and its base is composed of red and white marble from Conflent.</p>
<p>At the top, the Oblelisk is crowned with a globe and a Fleur de Lys, the emblem of French Royalty. Other than 4 bronze turtles there are trophies that represent the 4 continents. The base is also decorated with 4 low relief that commemorate highlights of the reign of Louis XVI - the Independance of America, the Navy relieved, the abolishment of Servitude in France and the freedom of Commerce.</p>
<p>One of the low relief of the Obelisk represents the Independance of America. The sculpture depicts a French Royal frigate bringing the treaty of Commerce signed by France in 1778 to the American Insurgents. This low relief created in 1780 was done before the signature of the Treaty of Paris of 1783 that recognized the Independance of America.</p>
<p><strong>The Fanal Fort</strong></p>
<p>In the 17th century, military architect Vauban considers the creation of a Naval Base and begins to have small forts built to defend the entrance. On the western side, Fort Fanal is built while to the South both Redoute Béar (destroyed in 1944) and Redoute Mailly are erected.</p>
<p><strong>Charles Rennie Mackintosh</strong></p>
<p>The Art Nouveau Scottish architect lived and painted in Port-Vendres from 1923 to 1927. While in Port-Vendres, he painted a number of watercolors including landscapes and architecture. There is a trail within the town that details his time in Port-Vendres and along which one can see the exact locations of where the painting were done.</p>
<p><span class="_highlight"><strong>Our Shore Excursions from Port-Vendres</strong></span></p>
<p>We organize small group private shore excursions departing from Port-Vendres to all the major landmarks this region has to offer. If you are visiting Port Vendres during your Cruise, we will come and pick you up directly at your ship or Port of call and have you visit or experience some of the most significant sights of the region.</p>
<p><span style="color: #f78e6f;"><strong>COLLIOURE VILLAGE & WINES</strong></span></p>
<p>Visit the small village of Collioure</p>
<p>The drive from Port Vendres to Collioure is just over 10 minutes but the drive is stunning through the Languedoc landscape. Upon arrival in Collioure, follow your guide as you walk the narrow streets of this small fishing village.</p>
<p> A fortified church so close to the sea that it seems to float, an old royal castle, colorful boats that seem ready to set out to catch the prized anchovies (a local specialty), this is enchanting Collioure. </p>
<p>No wonder artists such as Picasso, Braque, Dufy, Chagall, Matisse, and Derain came here as the village, the birthplace of the Fauvism painting movement boasts more than 300 days of sunshine per year. Another famous sculptor, Aristid Maillol, originates from nearby Banyuls sur Mer.</p>
<p>Followed by a Wine Tasting session</p>
<p>After the visit to the village and some free time, participate in a wine tasting session of local wines. The wine production in Collioure includes reds, rosés and a few white wines. The main grapes varieties that are used here include Shiraz, Mourvèdre, Grenache and Carignan which are similar to the grapes used in Languedoc wines. </p>
<p>Follow a locally guided tour of the winery and listen as the wine grower explains the techniques used here. After the visit, experience a wine tasting session of excellent wines of the region.</p>
<p>Wine making in the area began with the Greeks around the 6th century BP. For a long time under Spanish rule, the wines produced here have often been described as being more like Spanish wines than French. The red wines usually have softer tanins, and are full-bodied with spicy aromas. The rosés produced here have a nice raspberry color to them and can be very aromatic.</p>
<p>After the wine tasting session, it will be time to head back to your ship. Upon arrival in Port Vendres, we will drop you off at your ship and that will be the end of our services.</p>
<p><span style="color: #f78e6f;"><strong>CARCASSONNE HALF DAY OR FULL DAY SHORE EXCURSION</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>Arrive in Carcassonne</strong></p>
<p>Reach the Medieval City of Carcassonne that looks like some fairy-tale medieval city. Bathed in the late-afternoon sunshine and highlighted by dark clouds, La Cité, as the old walled city is known, is truly breathtaking.</p>
<p>The visit of the Saint Nazaire Basilica with its outstanding stained-glass windows that date back to the middle ages is a must during your walking tour.</p>
<p>After the visit to the Cité, enjoy some free time for personal discovery. On a half day tour, it will be time to return to your ship in Port-Vendres, on the full day tour your program continues with the itinerary below.</p>
<p>Return to your ship - Half Day Shore Excursion</p>
<p>Free time in the Cité for lunch (at own expense) - Full Day Shore Excursion</p>
<p>You will also have some time for lunch so why not try one of the most famous dishes or the area: Cassoulet!</p>
<p><strong>Admire the Castles of Lastours</strong></p>
<p>In the afternoon, you will then have the opportunity to admire the Castles of Lastours. The location is a splendid archaeological site, with its four castles: Cabaret, Tour Régine, Surdespine and Quertineux.</p>
<p>Below, the medieval village of Cabaret is nestled deep in the valley. Upon arrival, discover the stunning panoramic view from the Belvedere. After the visit, you will then be taken to the small village of Minerve that gives its name to the Minervois region.</p>
<p><strong>Visit the most beautiful village of Minerve.</strong></p>
<p>Completely surrounded by deep canyons, the small Cathare Village of Minerve is a mineral location set in the heart of the Languedoc garrigue landscape. A stroll through the village will clearly make you understand why it is classified as one of the most beautiful villages in France. Here you can shop for local arts & crafts, taste some delicious Minervois Wines or just wander in the village past bookshops or art galleries.</p>
<p>After the visit of Minerve, it will be time to head back to your ship in Port Vendres. Upon arrival at the ship, this will be the end of our services.</p>
