Les Lecques, Mediterranean coastal neighborhood in Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer, France.
Les Lecques is a seaside neighborhood in Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer featuring a wide sandy beach bordered by rocky outcrops and Mediterranean vegetation. The area curves along a bay and forms the main resort district with a port and waterfront promenades where people walk and gather.
The neighborhood grew from a small fishing village into a seaside resort during the 1800s as coastal tourism developed along the French Riviera. The port remained central to the place and continues to shape community life and the local economy today.
The restaurants here serve Provencal cooking based on fish and seafood brought in by local fishermen working from the nearby port. The menus change with what the sea offers, connecting the work of the fishing community directly to what visitors eat.
The area is best explored on foot since waterfront paths and narrow streets limit car access. Visiting in summer brings crowds, while spring and fall offer quieter days with pleasant weather.
The place is known for its traditional wooden fishing boats moored in the harbor, some still built and maintained by craftspeople using century-old techniques. This hands-on maritime tradition remains visible daily and is rare along the French Riviera coast.
