Where is the location depicted in this Argeles sur Mer village poster?

Argelès-sur-Mer is located in the Pyrénées-Orientales department (Occitanie region), about twenty kilometres south of Perpignan, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Albères mountain range. It is the first major resort on the Côte Vermeille, and its charming Catalan village is the central subject of this Argeles sur Mer village poster.

What makes the village of Argelès-sur-Mer special?

Argelès has two sides: the old village, nestled inland, and Argelès-Plage on the Mediterranean shore. The historic centre has kept all its Catalan character, with narrow lanes, small flower-filled squares, stone houses with colourful shutters, red-tiled roofs and remnants of its old ramparts.

What is the village's landmark monument?

The church of Notre-Dame-del-Prat, in the heart of the old village. Built in the Southern Gothic style and rebuilt in the 13th–14th centuries, it is best known for its 34-metre fortified bell tower — the tallest church tower in the department — which once served as a watchtower. It is the landmark that so often appears at the centre of village views.

What is the difference between the village, the beach and Le Racou?

The village is the historic centre, set inland; Argelès-Plage stretches along nearly 7 kilometres of sand; and Le Racou, at the southern tip, marks the start of the rocky Côte Vermeille. This poster depicts the village — Foliove offers separate views of Argelès beach and Le Racou.

Why is Argelès-sur-Mer called a Catalan village?

Because it belongs to the Catalan country (Northern Catalonia, in Roussillon), at the foot of the Albères. You can find the Catalan language and traditions there, Mediterranean architecture, markets selling local Roussillon produce, and the Casa de l'Albera, a heritage centre dedicated to local culture.

What sizes and prices is the Argelès-sur-Mer village poster available in?

The poster comes in five sizes: A4 21×30 cm (€13), A3 30×42 cm (€20), B2 50×70 cm (€30), B1 70×100 cm (€65) and B0 100×140 cm (€85). From A3 upwards, it is a limited edition of 200 prints worldwide.

Where and how is the Argelès-sur-Mer poster made?

The Argelès-sur-Mer village travel poster is an original illustration by Marie Troff, printed in France on 170 g/m² art paper by an Imprim'Vert-certified printer in Elne, in the Pyrénées-Orientales. Delivered unframed, it is shipped rolled in a recycled cardboard tube to ensure it arrives in perfect condition.

Does Foliove offer other views of Argelès and the Côte Vermeille?

Yes. Beyond the village, Foliove also features illustrations of Argelès-sur-Mer beach and Le Racou, and this design is also available as a postcard. A perfect way to keep a memento of the Catalan South — to give as a gift or hang on your wall.

The Argeles sur Mer Village poster captures the gentle Catalan art of living. Fuchsia bougainvillea spills over colourful facades. Argeles sur Mer has nothing to envy its neighbour Collioure.

Houses line up in yellow, orange and white. A vintage scooter is parked on the street corner, lending a touch of authenticity to the scene.

In the background, the church bell tower rises into view. The silhouettes of the Albera and the Massane peak keep watch over this uniquely peaceful landscape.

This is the village side of Argeles — the one tourists don't always see. The place locals love and fiercely protect.

FAQs

About Argeles sur Mer village poster

In Marie's studio, in Saint-Genis-des-Fontaines

How I design each poster, by hand, in the Pyrénées-Orientales

Foliove is my daily work. I create each illustration by hand, from my studio nestled in the Pyrénées-Orientales. Wacom, stylus, patience. No digital shortcuts, no images found anywhere other than in my souvenir photos, no effects applied with a click. Each line is consciously drawn, starting from a blank screen.

Printing is done nearby, at an Imprim'Vert certified printer in Elne. This is no accident: I can check the colors in person, adjust if necessary, and discuss directly with the team. They prioritize solvent-free inks and certified paper. It's a relationship, not just an order.

My subjects are born from my travels. A shade of the sky, a detail of a facade, a season frozen in an instant. I transpose them into a drawing once I return, often much later. It's my way of preserving these moments and offering them to those, like you, who look at them.
