I was here in December, 2005 to taste the wines of Roussilon.

After the tour of Collioure, we drove up a mountain to board our helicopters for the trip to the winery for lunch.

It was really cool to get to fly in the helicopters. The trip lasted maybe 20 minutes.

We got off the helicopters here and went to the winery for lunch. The French sure know how to eat.
