ル・バルカレス周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Anyone familiar with oysters knows that they can have very different flavors, depending not only on the subspecies but also on their origin. The Pacific rock oyster, which is the most common in Europe after the European oyster largely became extinct, tastes different on the French Atlantic coast, for example, than in Ireland or Scotland. Oysters from the European Atlantic share a relatively high salt and mineral content. Oysters from the Mediterranean, on the other hand, are somewhat milder and have a spicy aftertaste, similar to the "Blue Point" oyster from the US East Coast. The restaurant is irrelevant; it's all about the oyster itself, and of course, the price, which is outrageously high in Germany, for example. Personally, I prefer Breton and Norman oysters because they are distinctive and meaty.

Very beautiful hike from the Leucate lighthouse to La Franqui beach (8 km9) with a superb view.

Very beautiful walk overlooking the sea

The ride is mostly on cycling paths with nice views and beautiful sceneries. The destination is unique and the many oyster shacks will serve oysters and other shell fish fresh from the catch and raw. Keep in mind that they don't serve anything else. With your meal you can get water, soft drinks or wine. The prices are very reasonable. We chose to go back along the litoral 8 via Toreilles Plage, which makes other a sixty plus km ride. Well worth it. Tip: check the weather as it can be very windy in this area. We had a 35km head wind going, but that was in our favour on the return.

A very quiet and easy cycle path along the Agly.

A wonderful route on good bike paths along the lake. Great views of the mountains in the background.

A beautiful little town as a starting point for the cycle tour along the Etang.

From Cap Leucate you can enjoy a beautiful view that extends from the Gulf of Lion to the Pyrenees
