Ceret

Ceret is known as the town of cherries (in olden times, the King of France was served with the first crop of cherries from this town), with its ancient buildings and modern art museum. The home of Picasso, Braque, Matisse, Chagall and Dufy early in the present century, Ceret is said to have been the birth-place of Cubism, as Collioure is of Fauvism.

Our group had a lovely picnic here under the plaine trees and attended a Derain exhibit after doing our photo shoot.
