Le Front de Mer, Seaside promenade in Argelès-sur-Mer, France
The Front de Mer stretches 5.1 kilometers between the harbor and beach, featuring century-old pine trees, local shops, and Mediterranean views.
Traditional Catalan fishing boats were essential to local fishing activities, with 120 vessels documented in nearby Collioure during the year 1900.
Since 2009, the Argelès Photo Nature exhibition displays large-scale outdoor photographs along the seafront, drawing over one million visitors each year.
The promenade includes multiple fountains, children's play areas, and rest zones, with free parking available near the main roads.
The Port Bridge connects the harbor to the beach, welcoming over 200,000 visitors each summer along Vasco de Gama and Christopher Columbus quays.

Argelès-sur-Mer sits between the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees, combining beach life with medieval history. The town preserves traces of its past through the Tour de la Massane, a 13th-century watchtower, and the Mémorial des Camps, which commemorates the Spanish Civil War refugee camps. The Église Notre-Dame del Prat displays Catalan architecture, while the Ermitage Notre-Dame de Vie occupies a hillside overlooking the coast. The Sentier du Littoral follows rocky cliffs between Plage du Racou and Crique du Porteil, where swimmers and snorkelers gather. The region offers several protected natural areas, including the Réserve Naturelle du Mas-Larrieu with its dunes and wetlands, and the Réserve Marine de Banyuls for divers. Further inland, the Musée de Tautavel presents prehistoric findings, while the Orgues d'Ille-sur-Têt displays pink clay erosion formations. The Caves Byrrh in Thuir has produced fortified wine since 1873 in underground cellars. Across the Spanish border, the Musée Dalí in Figueres showcases the surrealist artist's work. In Perpignan, the Palais des Rois de Majorque rises above the city, documenting the period when the region belonged to the Kingdom of Majorca.
