Cabestany

Cabestany is a commune in the Pyrénées-Orientales department in southern France. It lies in the canton of Perpignan-3 and the arrondissement of Perpignan, and belongs to the Northern Catalan comarca of Rosselló, so its name has both a French and a Catalan pronunciation. Perpignan is its neighbour to the northwest, Canet-en-Roussillon to the northeast, Saleilles to the south and Saint-Nazaire to the southeast. The commune covers about 10.4 square kilometres and is part of the intercommunality Perpignan Méditerranée Métropole. The artist known as the Master of Cabestany was from this area, and a museum dedicated to his work stands in the town.
