"Long Ago A Kingdom , Now Growing with Wine"

This active city was long ago prominent as the independent kingdom of Majorca (13-15C), but now it prospers with wine growing. The Palace can still be visited and other ancient fortifications can be seen as well. The city contains an early example of a Spanish looking Cathedral.

"A Visit to the City"

Include trips to the Cathedral, the Majorca Palace and the Castillet.

My discovery of Perpignan with my parents in law who are living in Carcassonne.
We took the highway and before Perpignan, took the small roads.
We passed therefore to Salses (and visited the "Chateau de Salses"), Rivesaltes (renowned for its Muscat), Thuir (and we visited "les Caves de Byrrh"), Toulouges (for its chocolaterie), Le Perthus (at the frontier with Spain), Collioure, Port Vendres, Banyuls sur Mer and back to Carcassonne.

You will find a map of Perpignan and its surroundings.
