Cerbère (Cervera de la Marenda in Catalan) is a commune in the Pyrénées-Orientales department of the Languedoc-Roussillon region where the Pyrenees meet the Mediterranean in southern France. Cerbère is the last commune on the Côte Vermeille (vermilion coast) before Spain. Côte Vermeille is the name given to this rocky coast of Languedoc-Roussillon in the 19th century because of the colour of its rocks at sunrise and sunset. Cerbere is best known for hosting the border station on the French side of the train line between Perpignan and Barcelona. Since France and Spain use different rail gauges, the border stations of Cerbère and Portbou are quite busy with various transfer or gauge adjustment operations. Cap Cerbère is a rocky headland giving excellent views of the Spanish coast and has a solar-powered lighthouse. |
