A vibrant Catalan town, close to the Spanish border. Céret has a colourful history of legends, traditions, music and art. Full of boutiques and cafes, once frequented by Picasso and his friends, where you can sit under 150 yr old Plane trees and watch the world go by.

Enjoy an amble through the colourful market on Saturday mornings, visit the modern art gallery, with works by Picasso, Matisse, Miro, Chagal and many more. Find out the legends of the "Pont du Diable" and the fountain in the "Place de neuf jets" or take a guided tour through Céret to discover the history of this magical town.

Céret is renowned as the premier cherry growing area in France and for its cherry festival, normally held at the end of May or beginning of June. This is followed by the Feria "Céret de Toros" in early July in which bulls are run through the streets by skilled horsemen then in the evenings the town gets into party mode and the streets fill with music of all kinds and dancing till dawn. An experience you will never forget.
