Narrative:

On takeoff roll; at 110-115 KIAS we got an ECAM for aft cargo door open/unlatched and an aft cargo light displayed on the doors display. We elected to continue the takeoff. We made a normal and uneventful climbout to 4000 ft MSL. I elected for an immediate return. The ECAM alert procedure was finished and complied with; dispatch was conferred with and arrangements were made for a gate and maintenance. We elected for an overweight landing at 10;500 pounds overweight. We planned for a heavyweight landing and long landing roll. Uneventful landing was made; returned to gate; door was verified safe and normal and relatched. An overweight landing inspection was completed.
