Where the Mediterranean meets the Pyrenees and Europe's sunniest villages lie, stands a unique peak - the Canigou. The inhabitants feel so strongly about their mount that many hold it to be holy. No wonder two famous Romanesque monasteries cling to the sides of Canigou: St. Michel de Cuxa and St. Martin du Canigou. But this southeastern pocket of France was not always a frontier.
