Geography

[edit]

Course

[edit]

The river flows in the Corbières in a southeast-northwest direction. Its origin is on the Col de Mairolles, 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) south of the centre of the village of Quintillan, France, which it runs along; it then flows through Cascastel-des-Corbières, Villeneuve-les-Corbières, Durban-Corbières, and Portel-des-Corbières. Despite flowing into the Étang de Bages-Sigean, the Sandre states the Berre flows into the Mediterranean Sea at Port-la-Nouvelle[1], through the channel locally called "Grau de Port-la-Nouvelle".
