Apartments in Perpignan: Central Accommodation

In the Languedoc region lies the city of Perpignan, the capital of the Pyrénées-Orientales department of southern France and the historic capital of Roussillon. The city belonged to Spain up until the 17th century, when the Spanish and French monarchies signed the Treaty of the Pyrenees. During the Franco era, the city was frequented by Catalan people who made the trip to watch films that were banned in Spain. In 2010, Catalan joined French as the second officially spoken language. Its Mediterranean climate, with cold winters and warm summers, makes it an ideal spot for practicing a variety of sports all year round. The city has a charming mix of Catalan-Moorish architecture coupled with a French aesthetic. The Tet river, with its beautiful gardens and hedges on its banks, crosses Perpignan and gives it a romantic air. When going for a walk you can see many colorful buildings, flower-filled balconies and cobblestone streets, which lead to promenades, plazas and cafes that fill up with visitors and residents in the summer. Commissioned by Juan I of Aragon and built in the 14th century to protect the city against invasions, the Castillet prison and city gate is the symbol of Perpignan. The local cuisine has a strong French influence, especially noticeable when you wander down the alley of restaurants and try the traditional local cuisine, often in the company of an accordionist. There is an interesting selection of bars to choose from where you can taste the local wine. The grapes used to make the sweet wine that accompanies foie-grass or blue cheese are grown at the nearby Banyuls vineyard. The Bermeja Coast is the place where Mattisse, Picasso and Derain found inspiration for their artwork and is located only 25 minutes away. Perpignan has luxurious dining options, great places for diving, fishing ports and excellent hiking trails. Don't wait any longer, rent one of our apartments in Perpignan, a place where you will always want to return to.
