The Col de Puymorens ("Puymorens Pass") is a mountain pass in the French Pyrenees, connecting Foix to Cerdagne. Its summit is 1,915m.[1]
The pass historically crossed the border between France and Catalonia, until the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659 ceded the whole of this area to the former.[2] It has been a well-travelled route since the 18th century and has featured several times in the Tour de France.[3][4] In 1994, the pass was bypassed by a tunnel.[5]
