:: Perpignan ::
A 30 minutes drive takes you from our hotel to Perpignan.
Its heart to the South with a spicy accent, Perpignan looks toward Spain and the Orient, an eye on its past and a smile at its future.
Plane and palm trees coexist down the ramblas flooded with sunlight. Their shade invites Maillol’s Belles for a dance in the patios where a fountain giggles. The splendor of the Rois de Majorque castle looks over the popular alleys, flooded with spices, fruits and fish, perfumes and flavours from abroad.
History is everywhere, from convents to museums, from chapels to processions. Life is everywhere, in a Sardane dance step, a jazz sound, the bright guitar of a gpisy, or an arab chant flying off from a window.
In Perpignan, living the present day brings together both yesterday and tomorrow.
