Communes of the Pyrénées-Orientales department
Parts of this article (those related to the cantons have been reorganized in 2015, see Cantons of the Pyrénées-Orientales department) need to be updated. (April 2016) |
The Pyrénées-Orientales department is composed of 226 communes.
Most of the territory (except for the district of Fenolheda) formed part of the Principality of Catalonia until 1659, and Catalan is still spoken (in addition to French) by a significant minority of the population. The Catalan names of communes are taken from the Enciclopèdia catalana and are intended for comparison with the official French names: they do not indicate the current or former linguistic status of the commune.
- (CATM) Commune forming part of the Communauté d'agglomération Têt Méditerranée, created in 2001
