How to get here?Itinerary Côte Sablonneuse
The Catalan coast offers some magnificent beaches of fine sand, but behind these resorts there are some beautiful villages to discover.
Argelès-sur-Mer is a well-known seaside resort. Apart from the attraction of its beaches lined with pine trees and its lively streets, the resort is also a lively and welcoming village. In its Gothic church, you will find some beautiful works of art.
Follow the coastal road, the D81, and you will reach Saint-Cyprien. This resort has been able to ally the charm of the village to the dynamism of a sports resort.
Continue along the coast from St Cyprien to Canet, along the D81 for about 3 km, with the sea on one side and the shallow Saint-Nazaire Lake on the other.
The fishermen’s houses are made of reeds and offer a wonderful site. Canet-en-Roussillon extends from the village to the beach.
The resort follows the coastline and people meet on the Place de la Méditerranée for evening entertainment.
The aquarium near the port is a journey through different oceans. The old village, which was the seat of an important Viscount, has preserved the ruins of its castle.
Take the D12, and you will find the villages and resorts of Sainte-Marie-la-Mer and Torreilles and after 10 km you will arrive in Port-Barcarès. With the Corbières as a backdrop and the sea and the shallow lakes, the resort has many marinas.
On the way back, take the D51 that crosses several typical Salanque villages such as Saint-Laurent and Villelongue.
Bypassing the resort of Canet, take the D11 for 13 km to Elne.
A former Iberian then Roman town, Elne resumes the history of the Catalan region. Built on a rocky spur, the town dominates the market gardening plain, from its imposing Romanesque cathedral.
A former bishopric, the cathedral’s very presence shows how strong the town was.
Its medieval cloister is a sculptural treasure.
The town is lively and gay and a walk in its narrow streets takes you back in time.
