Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer, Mediterranean coastal commune in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France.
Saint-Cyr-sur-Mer is a coastal town on the Mediterranean with sandy beaches at Les Lecques and a working harbor at La Madrague. The shoreline features coves, rocky points, and walking paths connecting different sections of the coast.
An ancient Roman port called Tauroentum once thrived here, showing the area's importance as a trading center. Artifacts from this era are displayed in the nearby Musée de Tauroentum.
The town center features a genuine replica of the Statue of Liberty, a personal gift from sculptor Frédéric Bartholdi. This unexpected monument reflects historical ties between France and the United States.
The Saint-Cyr-Les Lecques La Cadière train station provides year-round connections to major cities in the region. From there, visitors can easily reach the beaches and harbor areas on foot or by local transport.
Local markets in both Saint-Cyr and Les Lecques sell regional products including olives and wines from surrounding farmland. These markets showcase an agricultural tradition that has shaped the area for centuries.
