Le Bois des Pins

Le Bois des Pins spans across 12 hectares along the seafront, containing over 2,000 pine trees that provide natural shade throughout the park.

The local municipality established this green space in 1854 by planting a pine forest, which later became the location of the first municipal campsite in the 1930s.

This collection of umbrella and maritime pines represents a central element of Argelès-sur-Mer's natural heritage and serves as a gathering space for community events.

The park includes various facilities such as water points, public toilets, and a nearby parking area for visitors arriving by car.

Three major replanting initiatives in 1978, 1981, and 1984 added 1,500 new pines to maintain the forest's density and ecological balance.
