Cerbère
Pyrénées-Orientales · France
Pocket-sized French village where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean, Cerbère sits at the southernmost seaside point of mainland France and serves as a key rail crossing into Spain — since France and Spain use different track gauges, most trains on the Perpignan–Barcelona line begin or end here. The surrounding Albères coast and massif are protected Natura 2000 zones, and the Cerbère-Banyuls marine reserve makes the area a base for diving.
