Creeks, c'est chic

On the port of Argelès-sur-Mer...

There are sailors who empty their nets! This way, the fish goes directly from the fisherman to the consumer. And into your shopping basket! Port-Argelès is also a favorite stopover for yachtsmen and visitors, with its small squares, festivities and typical restaurants. Don’t be surprised to hear a few Argelésians call out “Fem un café? “* as you pass.

Que fem?**
The marina is an invitation to stroll. As you walk along, you’ll no doubt notice a few boats as colorful as they are moored: these are traditional Catalan barques.

There’s something for everyone, from the youngest to the most adventurous, from sports enthusiasts to those who just want to relax, from those who want to set sail for new horizons to those who just want to laze on the sand!

Zoom on the Colibr-E
When respect for the environment meets love of the sea, the result is a pretty baby called Colibr-E. Hybrid and silent, it’s the perfect boat for dolphin watching!

A Racou of paradise

Once upon a time, Argelès-sur-Mer was a haven of peace. Benvingut* au Racou! Meaning “nook” in Catalan, this pretty piece of land takes you into a completely different atmosphere. With your feet buried in the sand and your eyes dancing between the sea and the mountains, take the time to live and stroll to your heart’s content… And your appetite! Tapas bars, fish restaurants or oyster bars, there’s plenty to tempt you in Racou.
