Editing Pre-Pyrenees (section)

==Description==
As a mountainous system the Pre-Pyrenees are part of the Pyrenees. They run parallel to the main mountain range in a west to east direction.

On the French side the Pyrenees's slopes descend rather abruptly, thus on the northern side, the Pre-Pyrenees are confined to the [[Corbières Massif]], towards the eastern end of the mountain system.<ref>Christophe Neff : ''Les Corbières maritimes – forment-elles un étage de végétation méditerranéenne thermophile masqué par la pression humaine ?''

On the Iberian side, however, the picture is very different: a large and complex system of [[foothill]] ranges stretches from [[Navarre]], across northern [[Aragon]], reaching the [[Mediterranean]] coast on the [[Catalonia|Catalan]] end of the Pyrenees. At the eastern end on the southern side lies a distinct area known as the [[Sub-Pyrenees]].<ref>Jordi Sacasas i Lluís, ''Geografía de Catalunya'', Publicacions L'Abadia de Montserrat. {{ISBN|978-84-8415-915-5}}</ref>
