Northern Catalonia, North Catalonia or French Catalonia is the Catalan-speaking and cultural territory ceded to France by Spain through the signing of the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659 in exchange for France's effective renunciation to the protection over Catalonia in the context of the Reapers' War. The area corresponds roughly to the modern French département of the Pyrénées-Orientales which was historically part of the Principality of Catalonia since the old County of Barcelona, and remained part of it during the times of the Crown of Aragon and the Habsburg-ruled Monarchy of Spain, until they were separated and given to the Kingdom of France by the Crown of Spain.
The equivalent term in French, Catalogne du Nord, is used nowadays, although less often than the more politically neutral Roussillon; Roussillon, though, historically did not include Vallespir, Conflent and Cerdagne. The term Pays Catalan, "Catalan Country", is sometimes used.

The Coll de la Llosa dolmen is a megalithic structure located on the border of the communes of Bouleternère, Casefabre, and Saint-Michel-de-Llotes in the French department of Pyrénées-Orientales in the Occitanie region.
The corridor dolmen is surrounded by a tumulus measuring ten meters in diameter, and is covered with a slab bearing numerous engravings in the form of crosses and cup marks. Its function is probably that of a collective burial of the chamber or corridor type; it dates from the 4th millennium BC, which would link it to the Neolithic culture of the southern Chasséen, well identified in the Pyrénées-Orientales.
