Céret is a small town in the southernmost part of France, right on the Spanish border. The town exudes southern French charm, and its weekly market, held under plane trees, is the most beautiful I know. Incidentally, the town is truly picturesque; Picasso, among others, spent a summer working here.

A place that, strangely enough, remains unknown even to most French people, yet it oozes southern French charm: old buildings in rosé and ochre-orange, numerous avenues of plane trees within the town, lovely sidewalk cafés, and, above all, no tourist stress, no plastic world. This beautiful little town is nestled on the slopes of the Pyrenees and is therefore also attractive for hikers. Braque and Picasso, incidentally, spent a working summer here.

This summer, I did the off-road climb and descent on my gravel bike. Challenging, but incredibly beautiful!

Very beautiful old town. The museum is also worth a visit – Picasso, Chagall, Miro

beautiful!

A beautiful village in the eastern Pyrenees that's well worth a visit, as it boasts beautiful corners and several hiking trails.

The area around Céret and Pla Bulat is well connected by a network of VTT (Vélo Tout Terrain) routes, which is the French term for mountain biking. Some routes are circular, allowing you to cover a good stretch without having to repeat the same route. There are marked MTB routes that cross the Albères massif, which include gradual ascents and exciting descents through forests, with spectacular views of the Pyrenees and, at some points, the Mediterranean.

At the top of the post is a warning about the presence of flock guard dogs, probably a Patou (a type of sheepdog), and a request that visiting dogs be kept on a leash to avoid conflict with the flock.
