small correction to my brain every time: Céret is the town, cerise is the cherry. too easy to mix when learning french place names

Céret gets called an art town for real, not only because it owns a museum. Braque was actually working there in 1911.

The Pont du Diable is worth naming too. It is the old 14th c bridge over the Tech, and lots of town photos use it even when they are not talking about the bridge itself.

The Saturday market is not a tiny souvenir thing. The mairie lists it every Saturday morning in the centre, roughly 100 to 200 stalls depending on season, so arrive early if you care about parking.

local Catalan text usually writes Ceret with no accent. If you see ceretà or ceretana, that is the Catalan word for someone from there, not a different place

For pronunciation, the final t stays silent. I have heard English speakers say it like se-ret, but in French it is closer to sé-rè, two short syllables and no t at the end.
