Explore your living choices in the South of France

Le Barcares is a modern beach resort, especially designed for small boat-owners. It has several marinas and many houses and apartments close to the water. Most of these are only occupied during the summer, which means the town has a bit of a deserted feel in winter. Although it does host a large Christmas market throughout December. 

It is also the venue for Les Deferlantes, the biggest summer music festival in the department which has welcomed international starts such as Sting, Indochine and David Guetta. 

A bike track links it to Leucate to the North and Torreilles to the south. 

If you are only planning on living here during the summer months, Barcares makes an interesting choice as it's less expensive and less touristy than the other beach towns and has a fast road connecting it to the motorway and Perpignan. If you are looking for character and historic buildings, you won't find them here.
