Summary[edit]

Description
Français : Le village est situé sur une butte qui s'élève à près de 20 mètres au-dessus de la plaine environnante, elle-même presque au niveau de la mer. La butte repose sur un affleurement isolé de dépôts continentaux du Pliocène (principalement des sables et des graviers), déposés par des rivières il y a environ 4 millions d'années. La plaine environnante est couverte de dépôts plus récents du Pléistocène supérieur et de l'Holocène, y compris des dépôts lagunaires (boues et limons) au premier plan.

A l'arrière-plan, les massifs des Albères et du Vallespir (formations paléozoïques), le long desquelles s'étend la frontière entre la France et l'Espagne.

English: The village sits on a hillock which rises nearly 20 metres above the surronding plain, itself almost at sea level. The hillock is underlain by an isolated outcrop of continental Pliocene deposits (mainly sands and gravels), which were laid down by rivers around 4 million years ago.

The surrounding plain is covered by more recent upper Pleistocene and Holocene deposits, including lagoon deposits (muds and silts) in the foreground. In the background are hills of the Albères and Vallespir ranges (Palaeozoic formations), along which runs the frontier between France and Spain.
