Communes of the Pyrénées-Orientales department

The Pyrénées-Orientales department is composed of 226 communes.

Most of the territory (except for the district of Fenolheda) formed a part of the Principality of Catalonia until 1659, and Catalan is still spoken (in addition to French) by a significant minority of the population. The Catalan names of communes are taken from the Enciclopèdia catalana and are intended for comparison with the official French names: they do not indicate the current or former linguistic status of the commune.
