The Languedoc-Roussillon / Pyrenees-Orientales region

For most of its life, the Pyrenees-Orientales region (formerly called Roussillon) of Languedoc was Spanish, only reverting to France in 1659. Since then it has retained a distinctively Catalan flavour, with Catalan spoken widely, and the Sardana dance, Bullfights and Paschal rituals still performed. The food too has a Spanish flavour, with spicy chorizzo and paella popular.

The landscape of the Pyrenees-Orientales is perhaps the most dramatic in Languedoc, dominated by the towering Pyrenees, the foothills of which hold some of Languedoc Roussillon's most interesting sightseeing.

As the plain nears the coast, huge etangs appear (inland lakes), home to fishermen and wind surfers alike. The coast is mostly flat, but suddenly (thanks to the Pyrenees) starts to undulate at Collioure, creating picturesque bays and headlands (more like Provence). Collioure is particularly pretty with chic restaurants and cafes looking out over the battlements and pastel-coloured houses.

The mountains of Languedoc's Pyrenees-Orientales give way to huge river valleys of the Tet and Tech rivers, where fruit farms abound growing apricots, apples, almonds and much of France's early vegetables.

The Ceret area

The Ceret area
Céret is the pretty and charming centre of the Vallespir region. It is famous for its Musée d'Art Moderne (Museum of Modern Art), which has numerous Picasso paintings, sculptures and ceramics, including the famous bull fighting bowl series. The museum also features paintings by Chagall, Matisse, Herbin, Soutine, lots of Fauves and a few Impressionists.

The top floor of the Museum hosts touring exhibitions. The museum is open 364 days of the year.
The Pont du Diable (Devil's Bridge) is a single arch stone bridge built between 1321 and 1341. With a single span of 45.45 m, it was at the time of its construction the world's largest arch bridge in terms of span length.

Every Saturday there is a fabulous local market and the highlight of the week in Ceret.
Everywhere you go there are cafes , restaurants and bars but step of the main street and you'll be back into peace and quiet , wandering along the old streets admiring the architecture and enjoying the cool of the shade.

The town also has all the amenities of a modern town including a large swimming pool and well maintained tennis courts.

From march to October there are various festivals and high days and holidays eg:
March - Ceret carnival
April - Easter celebrations
May - Famous Cherry festival and holidays all month
June - Music festival
July / August - evening market with bands and entertainment, plus various celebrations for summer
September - Sardane dancing
October - The flame of Canigo brought down from the mountain

Ceret is truly a hidden gem in Southern France, only 10minutes form the swimming and fishing lakes of St. Jean Pla de Cort , 25 minutes form the bustling beaches of Argeles sur Mer and all set within the foothills of the Pyrenees. Nature is everywhere , as are the fabulous views of mountains, vineyards and fruit trees.
