Canet-en-Roussillon (in French pronounced as /kane ɑ̃ ʁusijɔ̃/; Catalan; Valencian: Canet de Rosselló, in Catalan; Valencian pronounced as /kəˈnɛt ˈde rusəˈʎo/; Occitan (post 1500);: Canet de Rosselhon, in Occitan (post 1500); pronounced as /kaˈnet de ruseˈʎu/) is a commune and town in the French department of the Pyrénées-Orientales, administrative region of Occitania.[2]
Canet-en-Roussillon is located in the canton of La Côte Sableuse and in the arrondissement of Perpignan, 9.4km (05.8miles) to the east of Perpignan.
The city walls were destroyed in the 19th century.
With the development of sea bathing, the first beach settlement for bathers of the coast of Pyrénées-Orientales was created by Louise Lombard in 1849.[3] As early as 1854 municipal laws were established regulating types of bathing suits and separating sea bathing zones for men and women.
