Saint-André is a pretty Catalan village located on the northern foothills of the Albères. Close to the lively beaches of Argelès-sur-Mer and gateway to a rich hinterland, at the foot of the Albères massif, the village of Saint-André is a stopover full of charm and tranquility.

The Romanesque church of Saint-André

Passing through its doors is an incredible leap in time!
Not to be missed: the sculpted marble lintel dating from the 1th century – similar to that of Saint-Genis-des-Fontaines – considered to be one of the first Romanesque sculptures in Roussillon!
