Saint-Cyprien

Saint-Cyprien is a coastal commune along the Mediterranean, positioned between two neighboring beach towns, with long sandy shores and a major port facility at the waterfront. The town spreads out along this maritime setting, combining beach access with water-based activities.

During World War II, the area served as an internment camp for thousands of Spanish Civil War refugees. Afterward, the location transformed into a modern coastal resort with port development and tourism.

The town's name comes from an early Christian saint, reflecting a deep connection to the sea that still shapes daily life here. Locals and visitors gather along the waterfront, which remains the heart of community activity.

The place has a large port with many moorings and is easily accessible year-round. Visitors can arrive by public transportation or car, and will find wide paths along the beach and through town.

A special spot is the garden on the grounds of a former mansion, complete with ponds, meadows, and small waterfalls, now open to the public. This hidden green space offers a quiet contrast to the busier port area.
