Roc de Frausa, Mountain peak at French-Spanish border in Pyrénées-Orientales, France and Girona Province, Spain

The Roc de France rises to 1421 meters in elevation and features rocky slopes characteristic of Pyrenean formations between Céret and Reynès.

The original name Roc de Frausa comes from the Latin word 'fraga', meaning rocky cliff, before its transformation to Roc de France in the 19th century.

The residents of Céret, Reynès and Maçanet de Cabrenys share border traditions around this mountain that have persisted through generations.

Hikers can reach the summit through marked trails starting from the municipalities of Céret, Reynès or Maçanet de Cabrenys.

Natural caves along the paths formerly served as shelters for Catalan smugglers, known as trabucayres, who operated in this border region.
