Merci. Je vous remercie excusez mon mauvais Google français. Je ne vis pas là-bas mais cela semblait être un très bel endroit. je recommande pour une visite Thankyou. I dont live there but its a very nice place to visit. I recommend it 😀😀😀
I like Perpignan the way I like my least-likeable, wayward, troublesome child. I first visited back in 2013, and, having been all over southern France, and its ‘preserved in tourist aspic’ sights, was pleasantly surprised by the place, albeit, yes, with a slightly rough-around-the-edges, authentic, ‘take no prisoners’, feel to the city. However, not once (in about a dozen visits since) have I felt my personal safety even remotely in danger whilst there. (This includes several strolls around the so-called ‘notorious’ St Jacques area; alas, there have been mutterings for years, locally, about razing this entire area - really a small village within the city - and starting again, but I feel this would be an egregious error, both from a human point of view, and from an aesthetic point of view, as in my opinion, the old cluster of St Jacques houses and intermittent churches and small squares, is actually a potential jewel in the city’s crown. Perhaps they may have to gentrify it a bit to pull in the casual visitors, but to erase it from the cityscape? well, I shudder at the thought, and pray they don’t.) But … and here’s what those not in the know may not be aware of: 1. Perpignan has a small, but lively and lovely central core: sure, the cultural barbarians bulldozed the old town walls to, you’ve guessed it, put up parking lots and roads, but they had mercy on the actual buildings within the walls, such that you can stroll around the town’s heart for a morning and be pleasantly surprised. 2. It’s sunny, almost always. I was once there in the depths of January one year and the thermometer shot up to 23/24/25 degrees on a blissful run of 3 days. Sure, doesn’t bode well for climate change enthusiasts (of which I am one), but hey! gotta take your pleasures where you can find them. 3. It’s close to beach and mountain. One of its delights is that splendid thing whereby you can take a photo in Perpignan with palm trees in foreground and Canigou dusted with snow, like icing on a birthday cake, in the distance. That sub-tropical/Alpine (strictly, in this case, Pyrenean) juxtaposition always fascinates me. 4. The people are, on the whole, warm and welcoming. 5. Spain is right on the doorstep; and to take you there a run of delicious wee Cote Vermeille villages, climaxing in the cute-as-a-button Collioure (due respect to dinky, but frankly slightly underwhelming Cerbere). If you take the more direct route and the fast train from Perpignan, you can be in Dali’s birthplace in 20 minutes, or 20 minutes further down the line again and the quite glorious Old Town ensemble of Girona (where the city fathers - and mothers! - wisely opted to leave the city walls, such that they provide one of the most wonderful urban-based walks in all Spain), and just another 40 minutes after that, perhaps Spain’s most world-renowned city. (Due respect to the non-Catalans amongst us.) So there you have it. Perpignan is worth the hike. I did it on a Ouigo (Paris-Perpignan return) a couple of years back for less than the price of a round of drinks. Or thereabouts.
It's nice to get a positive comment about perpignan for once. When I visited I had no idea what to expect and was very pleasantly surprised. Sure I didn't go in any of the rough parts as I'm a tourist but all cities have good and bad areas. Thank you for watching and taking the time to write something thoughtful. I would be happy to visit perpignan again someday 👍👍👍
Agreeable and interesting explanation, only you forgot a detail: Perpinyà is in Catalonia. And, going south, Girona, Barcelona... Catalonia continues. Have a nice day.
Je reconnais cette tour rose saumon. La première fois que j'allais dans cette ville, j'ai l'impression que c'est ça que Paris aurait dû être. Il ne reste que la tour Eiffel. (Je n'ai jamais visité Paris)
The name of the city is Perpinyà. And it is in Catalonia, not in Occitania. Thanks. El nom de la ciutat és Perpinyà. I és a Catalunya, no pas a Occitània. Mercès. La ville s'appelle Perpinyà. Elle est située en Catalogne, pas en Occitanie. Merci.
Faudrait pensé à faire des logements sociaux comme dans toute les autres region faut habiter ici pour voir moi je suis d'origine lyonnaise j'ai jamais vue une ville aussi vétuste et sale et biensur pas d'infrastructures chômage pour tous ici et parlons pas des parkings pas assez et trop cher vue la qualité de vie ici c'est un gâchis vraiment......
