The Belvédère du Rayon Vert is a former hotel in Cerbère, France, designed by Perpignan architect Léon Baille and built between 1928 and 1932 in the Streamline Moderne style. Constructed as the first reinforced concrete building in the European Union, the structure resembles a ship in overall appearance. The original complex featured a cinema and a tennis court on the roof, catering to visitors drawn to this Pyrenean border town. After closing in 1983, the building was inscribed as a historic monument in 1987. Today, portions have been restored and preserve original interior features, remaining open to visitors most afternoons and available for reservations. The hotel sits at the north entrance to Cerbère, positioned between the railway and the departmental road to Perpignan.
