History
During the mid 19th century, Le Barcarès was created as a small fishing village which developed until the mid- 20th century prior to the local economy redirecting towards the tourism industry.[2]
At the end of the Spanish Civil War, Le Barcarès was the site of a camp housing Republican escapees from Spain.[3] Conditions were slightly better than at other camps, as most internees sent there had indicated a willingness to return to Spain.[4]
