Pyrénées-Orientales

Pyréneés-Orientales is a department on France's Mediterranean coast, along the Spanish border. The main city, Perpignan, is known for its Catalan culture and 13th-century Palace of the Kings of Majorca. South is the fishing town of Collioure, with its medieval Royal Castle, and the long beach at Argelès-sur-Mer. Inland, in Catalan Pyrenees Regional Park, is Canigou peak and the hilltop Abbey of St. Martin of Canigou.
