Argeles-sur-Mer
Argeles-sur-Mer is found on the Mediterranean coast near the border with Spain on the section of coast known as the Cote Vermeille.
Argeles is a popular and pleasant resort on the Languedoc coast, with a fine sandy beach almost seven kilomtres long, and interspersed with rocky pools. It is the most important resort on this stretch of the coast.
It is found in an attractive setting, with the low hills of the eastern Pyrenees behind the beach. The beach and coast here is also used for other watersports such as windsurfing and scuba diving.
Argeles also has a pleasant tree lined port and an attractive original town with some interesting narrow streets to explore - you can ascend the belltower for the best views across the region.
A popular trip out is to Valmy to see fine views and eagles soaring overhead
General information: just north of Argeles-sur-Mer during 1939 a large prisoner camp was established to house thousands of republicans fleeing Spain after the end of the Spanish War.
