Mantet is located in the canton of Le Canigou and in the arrondissement of Prades.

The village of Mantet lies at an altitude of 1550 metres about 200 metres below the Col de Mantet. The GR 10 Pyrenean footpath passes through the village so it is one of the few points in the Pyrenees Orientales where hikers can buy provisions and spend the night in comfort.

Editorial summary

This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Mantet” as commune in Pyrénées-Orientales, France. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.

Editorial reviewA practical starting point whose main value is the path it opens into stronger specialist and primary sources. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1550—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. The account is most persuasive where Mantet, commune and Pyrénées-Orientales can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as commune in Pyrénées-Orientales, France. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1369164. Authority coordinates are 42.477, 2.307. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1550.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
