Latour-de-France is a commune in the Pyrénées-Orientales department in southern France.
Latour de France is situated by the original frontier between France and Catalonia. Its military significance ended with the Treaty of the Pyrenees peace between Louis XIV of France and Philip IV of Spain that ended the Franco-Spanish War of 1648–59 but is still evinced in street names such as place de l’hôpital and place d’Armes.
This village of approximately 1,000 inhabitants has its own Appellation Contrôlée associated with the forward-looking cave co-operative, a garage, pharmacy, post office, primary school, bakers, two restaurant / bars, a small grocery store and a blacksmith. There are two tennis courts, a skate park, a children's playground, and several locations used by petanque enthusiasts. At its perimeter, there is a mix of ancient and modern while the old central village is a labyrinth of narrow streets.
Thirty years ago, in common with many villages, there were a fair number of derelict properties. These have virtually disappeared having been renovated for the most part by local families. Latour de France is now home to a growing number of foreign residents including families from Belgium, the United Kingdom, Germany and Norway.
There are many well-mapped walking and biking trails through the vineyards with points of interest such as derelict chapels and mines, along with views of the mountains.
The village is twinned with Port Erin in the Isle of Man.
