Saint-Cyprien

Few towns in Occitanie have a history as closely tied to the 1960s state-led development of Mediterranean resorts as Saint-Cyprien. On the Gulf of Lion, it combines an older inland centre with Saint-Cyprien-Plage and Port Saint-Cyprien, one of the major marinas on the Pyrénées-Orientales coast. Its shoreline was expanded through Mission Racine, the French coastal-planning programme launched in 1963 that reshaped much of the former Languedoc-Roussillon coast. Long beaches, the Mediterranean and the nearby Pyrenees define the setting, while the town belongs to France’s Catalan country around Perpignan.
