The port of Port-Vendres, a symbol of the town’s glory and development since antiquity, is an intense commercial exchange area. Did you know that we are the 2nd Mediterranean fruit port with 5000 tonnes unloaded every week? In addition, the multi-modal connections from the port allow for a considerable choice of transport for distribution.

- 4 berths, 2 of which are equipped with ramps for roll-on/roll-off vessels and ferries.
