Riverchurch

Riverchurch exists primarily for the English-speaking residents of Pyrénées-Orientales - although most of the leadership team and many of the regular members are bilingual. A simultaneous French translation of the Sunday services is available via wireless headset. The worship-style is contemporary and the preaching bible-based. There is ample off-street parking, and coffee & biscuits are served during the 20 minutes before the Sunday service begins. Children are welcome and age-specific groups are provided for them during the second half of the service.

Cathedrale St-Jean

Reviewed By frankn829

This is certainly a beautiful church worthy of exploring. You definitely get a feel that it was meant to be a bit bigger, but, it has a lot of amazing art in every nook and cranny. One really interesting item is an apparent crypt cemented in by a covering with four skull and crossbones figures - one on each corner. Being close to the sea, it makes you wonder...

Abbaye Saint Martin du Canigou

On an eagle's nest in the heart of the Massif du Canigou, the former Benedictine Abbey of St. Martin's discretely overhangs the valley since the XI century. A unique site just waiting to be discovered by the delighted rambler, with ist bell tower, marble capitals, the vaulted abbey-church and crypt... A jewel of early Romanesque architecture typical of this region.

The walk up to this Abbey, perched on the top of a mountain, is fantastic (about 40 mins, bring walking shoes). The kids (aged 4 and 6) enjoyed it too. The Abbey is a great reward at the end, the guided tour (in French) is very well done and interesting (even for young children), and there are views of the mountains from all around the Abbey.

Eglise Saint-Pierre

Reviewed By mrandmrsl2017

This is a wonderful Church set in the back streets of Ceret but has its own presence when reached with much space around it, the interior has much of interest to see and admire.
