Discover all the pretty spots along the 280 miles from Marseille to Barcelona!

This is forgetting that until the approach of the Etang de Berre, the high relief shoreline is often steep, just like on the western shore of the Etang, and this long beach is in fact cut by numerous graus, these entrances to ponds which give access to sites which are not lacking in attractiveness, such as Aigues Mortes and its old ramparts, Sète and the small oyster-farming ports of the Thau lagoon, Agde and its black lava cathedral, or Leucate and its vast lagoon without forgetting Gruissan where a picturesque canal gives access to the old village in concentric circles. 

After St Cyprien, without any transition, the sand gives way to the rocks of the Pyrenees. Collioure at the foot of the Templar castle is a real postcard setting and Cerbère almost a mountain port. Once past the border, you come to Cap Creus, an extremely wild coastline, accessible only by rare goat paths, with jagged rocks drawing tiny coves in an astonishing variety of coloured rocks that announce the reddish rocks of the Costa Brava with its steep slopes covered with pine woods. This is a far cry from the image of straight beaches lined with tall buildings that characterise the Spanish coast south of Blanés. Even the fishing ports are not lacking in charm with their ramblas lined with small, typically Catalan restaurants.
