Everything about French Cerdagne totally explained
French Cerdagne is the northern half of
Cerdanya, which came under French control as a result of the
Treaty of the Pyrenees in
1659, while the southern half remained in
Spain (as part of
Catalonia).
Catalonians often refer to French Cerdagne as "High Cerdanya", although this name isn't recognized in France. It is the only French territory in the
Iberian Peninsula.
French Cerdagne has no special status inside France, simply forming an area within the
département of
Pyrénées-Orientales, unlike the Spanish part of Cerdanya, which is officially a
Catalan comarca called simply
Cerdanya. In France, the French area is referred to as either
Cerdagne française (for example "French Cerdagne"), or just
Cerdagne.
French Cerdagne has a land area of
539.67 km² (208.37 sq. miles). The population, according to the
1999 census, was 12,035, resulting in a density of only 22 people per km² (58 inh. per sq. mile).
French Cerdagne has the most cloud-free days in
France, and was therefore chosen as the place to build:
