Leucate village has a great range of restaurants catering for all tastes and budgets! Also a good range of shops including Bio-monde: an organic supermarket. You can also visit the ruins of the château. Leucate Plage, which is just a couple of kilometres further on has fabulous clean and uncrowded beaches.

This abandoned village, perched on a hill, is slowly being restored by annual summer camps. The views are stunning and you can walk back to La Rassada from here!

Quality food on the main square of a small local village. This restaurant is the hub of life in the village and good value for money. Live music some evenings in the summer.

So much to do and see from the Flamingos on the lagoons, to the eagles in the hills, with great coastal and inland walking and hiking trails. (Disregard spot as marked on the map - the park covers the entire area between Narbonne and Fitou!)
