Ceret Attractions

Céret (alt. 171m/560ft; pop. 7,292) lies at the point where the Tech valley enters Roussillon. The Catalonian sculptor Manolo (1872-1945) and the composer Déodat de Sévérac drew numbers of artists to this little town, which now possesses many works of modern art.

The Casa Catalane de la Culture has rooms devoted to mineralogy and ethnology. The Vieux Pont or Pont du Diable, which spans the Tech in a single arch 22m/72ft high, dates from the 14th century. It affords fine views of Le Canigou and the Monts des Albères.
