  • About

The département of Roussillon is the southernmost in the country, having been ceded to France by Spain in 1694. Except in a few isolated areas, the inhabitants, though loyal Frenchmen, are proud of their Catalan inheritance, so their cooking is markedly influenced by Spanish style and ingredients. This is their distinctive way of serving lotte, as you might find it by the Mediterranean in Collioure.
