A Melting Pot of Cultures
Because of its southern location as the last major town in Languedoc, much of Perpignan is considered a mix of Catalan and French influences.To learn about Perpignan’s history and experience its culture, there are several sights to see and places to visit. These treasures include Palais des Rois de Majorque, the Cathédrale Saint-Jean and the Jardin de Sant-Vicens.
During your time in Perpignan, you must sample the quintessential French tradition of snails. The Escargots Du Roussillon Snail Shop is the ultimate place to buy fresh snails and herbs to accompany them for your evening meal.
Mediterranean Landscapes
The landscape matches your expectations, with towering Pyrénées and foothills that showcase stunning sights. Near the Mediterranean coast, as the terrain flattens, you'll find large étangs (inland lakes) frequented by local and visiting fishermen and surfers.The Pyrenées have shaped picturesque bays and headlands, where the towns of Collioure and Banyuls-sur-Mer are located along the France-Spain border.
The Fishing Town of Collioure
The small Catalan port of Collioure is tucked behind where the Mediterranean waters meet the Pyrénées' rocks. The town sees few tourists, but it offers plenty to discover.You can relax on the beach or explore the streets, which are filled with narrow, gently sloping alleys that lead to some of Southern France's most picturesque villages. As you stroll, you'll encounter local butchers, bakers, and grocers, along with scenic views from the lanes looking down into the town.
Cultural Experiences Banyuls-sur-Mer
With the Catalan charm that fills this area, you might think one more step would lead you into Spain, but you’d be wrong. A few minutes down the coast is the resort of Banyuls-sur-Mer, known as the Côte Vermeille. Banyuls is a quiet town with still much to discover. The beach has received the prestigious ‘pavillon bleu’ award for cleanliness and facilities, which are spread along the seafront for you to enjoy.Once again, you will be guided through the narrow streets that lead to the town's large Mediterranean garden, the Jardin Mediterranean du Mas de la Serre. Banyuls is also well known for its local wine production; there are several caves where you can enjoy an afternoon of wine tasting – the most popular are La Grande Cave and La Cave du Mas Reig.
