Le Barcarès
Pyrénées-Orientales · France
A tiny Mediterranean coastal town in the Pyrénées-Orientales, Le Barcarès sits on the shore of the Salses-Leucate lagoon complex — a protected natural area that also carries Natura 2000 status — with the mountains visible inland. The town has a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size, and its position in the historic Roussillon region, part of France since 1659, adds some cultural depth to what is primarily a seaside destination.
