Céret (French: [seʁɛ] ⓘ; Catalan: Ceret [səˈɾɛt]) is a commune in the Pyrénées-Orientales department in southern France.

The town lies in the foothills of the Pyrénées mountains, in southern France, on the river Tech at an altitude of 175–1400 meters.

One of the doctors in charge, coming from Thuir, was fired for being repeatedly drunk and after having buried several sick people that were still alive.

The feria is always held the weekend nearest to 14 July, Bastille Day and around 30 to 40,000 people participate in the streets each year.

No pre-arrangement is made on the dancers behalf, locals note the time and place on posters around the city and turn up as they wish.

Céret has a market on Saturdays, where vendors sell mostly local produce, along with sausages, olives, cheese and wine.

The Grand Café, still operating today, was a meeting place for many famous artists in the early part of the last century.

Chaïm Soutine, the Russian emigre painter, lived in Céret for a period and painted many landscapes of the village and its surrounds.

Aristide Maillol, a famous sculptor born in the local village of Banyuls-sur-Mer, is represented by two public sculptures - one outside the visitors information centre and the other on the war memorial.
