Perpignan la Catalane: its very name evokes southern charm. It sings the glorious heyday of the continental capital of the Mallorcan kingdom, and the cultural riches it left behind. As a City of Art and History, traditional Perpignan has decked herself out in her finery to host your holidays or business trips. Tradition is a living thing here, a cause for celebration, and the city boasts a rich and varied cultural life. Perpignan has so much to offer that it's impossible to describe it in just a few lines.

The only way to experience it is to come see it for yourself. So come -- you will be warmly welcomed. Come visit the place Dali named the "centre of the world" As the heart of the south, as well as its spicy centre, Perpignan looks out towards Spain and the Orient, keeping an eye on its history, but smiling towards its future. History is everywhere, from convents to museums to chapels and processions. Life is everywhere, in the steps of the Sardana, a jazz harmony, a rock chord, a gypsy guitar, an Arab chant flowing out of a window. For Perpignan, living in the present brings together every moment, here and there, yesterday and tomorrow.
