Le Bois des Pins

Le Bois des Pins is a coastal forest park covered with mature pine trees that create shaded areas throughout the space. The woodland consists mainly of established specimens representing different pine species with a dense forest structure.

The site was established in 1854 through pine planting and later served as the location of the first municipal campsite in the 1930s. The woodland was created to form a natural forest cover along the coast and was reinforced during the 20th century.

The pine species here, particularly the umbrella and maritime varieties, shape the landscape character of Argelès-sur-Mer and serve as a gathering place for both visitors and locals.

The park offers various facilities including water points and public restrooms accessible to visitors. A parking area is located nearby for those arriving by vehicle.

Pine trees were replanted in multiple phases, particularly in the second half of the 20th century, to maintain and strengthen the forest structure. These repeated planting efforts allowed the woodland to sustain its vitality despite natural changes.
