Pyrénées-Orientales has 99 listed campsites, with clear coastal dominance: 79 establishments border Mediterranean, against 12 on river banks, 10 on lake banks and 8 on pond banks. This Catalan department benefits from a Vermilion Coast and sandy shoreline concentrating most offering, between Argelès-sur-Mer, Canet-en-Roussillon and Collioure.
Sea-bank campsites benefit from a very sunny Mediterranean climate and direct beach access, a major asset for this among-most-prized Languedoc coast departments. Inland, river and lake-bank campsites spread along the Têt and its tributaries, as well as around bodies of water like Lake Vinça or Lake Villeneuve-de-la-Raho.
Backed by the Pyrenees, with Mont Canigou as backdrop, this department offers marked contrast between lively coast and wilder Catalan hinterland, conducive to hiking and rural tourism.
Pyrénées-Orientales offer one of Mediterranean's most contrasting coasts, between fine sand beaches around Canet-en-Roussillon and rocky Vermilion Coast towards Collioure, a fishermen's village inspiring Fauve painters in the early twentieth century. Argelès-sur-Mer completes this seaside offering with long beaches.
Inland, Mont Canigou, an emblematic and sacred peak for Catalan culture, dominates the landscape and climbs via hiking. The little yellow train crosses Cerdagne and offers a picturesque access to Pyrenean mountain villages.
Perpignan, the department's prefecture, retains strong Catalan identity, perceptible in its architecture, traditional celebrations and cuisine, halfway between French and Spanish influences.
