Le Perthus
Pyrénées-Orientales · France
Mountain border village in the Pyrénées-Orientales where France meets the Iberian Peninsula, Le Perthus sits in the Pyrenees along the historic Roussillon region — part of France since 1659. The village played a significant role in the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) and the Retirada, the mass exodus of Republican refugees into France. The surrounding terrain falls within several natural zones of ecological interest, and UNESCO World Heritage sites lie within the wider region.
