Historic Sites

Numerous dilapidated buildings recall the days when Saint-Exupéry touched down here. The Casa Mar is abandoned but still standing, and can be easily reached at low tide. At the north end of the beach, a monument honours Saint-Exupéry’s memory: a dinky green Bréguet 14 biplane, the sort he used to fly. Nearby, the Spanish fort now houses military barracks, and behind the museum is the 1930s cinema; in the same area, swashbucklers swapped anecdotes between flights at Bar des Pilotes.
