The municipality, in figures
The municipality
Le Barcarès is a small municipality, elongated from north to south measuring 3 by 9 kilometres. It has a coastline, and that matters: the strip of maritime-terrestrial public domain is governed by its own rule, different from that of the rest of the municipality. Within its boundaries there are 3 protected areas, including Complexe lagunaire de Salses. There, the rules on permitted uses are set by each area's own plan. It borders 5 municipalities, and the answer may change on crossing any of those lines.

Protected-area designation: the rule of the protected area applies here in addition to the municipal one, and it usually makes the penalty harsher.

On the beach the answer is no even if the municipality is permissive: the prohibition is national and needs no sign.
