Le Barcarès extends along the Mediterranean coastline with sandy beaches and a marina, situated at one meter above sea level in southern France.

The town celebrates its maritime heritage through traditional festivals and local fish markets, combining French and Catalan customs in daily life.
Visitors reach Le Barcarès through regular bus connections from Perpignan, with the journey taking approximately 30 minutes along the coastal route.
