Puig de Fontfreda, Mountain peak in Céret, France.
The Fontfrède Peak rises to 1093 meters in elevation, presenting extensive views over the Eastern Pyrenees and the Mediterranean coastline.
During World War II, this mountain peak functioned as an escape route for individuals seeking refuge in Spain with assistance from local guides.
The region surrounding Fontfrède Peak demonstrates a mixture of French and Catalan influences in its traditional customs and regional cuisine.
Hikers can reach the summit from either Céret or Maureillas-las-Illas by following marked trails through cork oak forests.
A memorial stone dedicated to French escapees stands at 1004 meters along the path leading to the summit.
