From Sunday, December 25, the Incredible Festivals of Argelès-sur-Mer leave the Gambetta square of the village and settle on the Charles Trenet esplanade at the beach.
Until January 1, the Christmas Eve village will make your end of the year sparkle. In the afternoon, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., the youngest can enjoy a cocktail of free entertainment: kart sailing, archery, orienteering, games of all kinds, merry-go-round, horse-drawn carriage, blind test… Then in the evening, the older ones will enjoy getting together, with family or friends, around an aperitif dinner and/or a free concert under the stars in the shelter of the transparent marquee.
