Fenolheda

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fenouillèdes (Occitan: Fenolhedés/Fenolheda, Catalan: Fenolledès/Fenolleda), is a French comarca and a traditional Occitan-speaking area in the département of Pyrénées-Orientales. The capital of the comarca is Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet (Sant Pau de Fenolhet).

Fenolheda has been part of the former Kingdom of France since the Treaty of Corbeil (1258). In 1790, during the French Revolution and long after the Treaty of Pyrenees (1659), it was incorporated in a newly created département along with the Roussillon comarques.
