Welcome to Caramany

A village to wander through,
a landscape to take in.

Caramany lies in the Fenouillèdes, inland in the Pyrénées-Orientales, in Occitanie. Around its old castle, houses stand on rocky terrain. The bell tower of Saint-Étienne church and the remains of the fortifications provide landmarks for exploring the village.

Continue exploring on the cultivated slopes and beside the Agly lake, created by the dam built in the 1990s. Heritage, landscapes and vine growing meet here on a village scale, giving you plenty of ways to shape a visit around your interests.
