Hotels in Perpignan

Set at the foot of the Pyrenees, the town of Perpignan is the last major town in France's Languedoc-Roussillon region before the Spanish border. As a result, Perpignan has a distinctly Catalonian feel to it, with much of the art and culture here reflective of the mix of people who inhabit the area. Exceptional food and drink, beautiful scenery and historic sights are all on offer here, so why not take a look at our selection of Perpignan hotels to find accommodation in the town to suit your requirements.

Art and culture

There's plenty to see and do around the town of Perpignan, with attractions that will appeal to every visitor. Historic buildings are dotted throughout the town but be sure to find time to visit Forteresse de Salses, a fantastic 15th-century castle built by the Spanish. Palais des Rois de Majorque, built in the south of the town at the end of the 13th century, is another fine monument.

Take a walk through Jardin de Sant-Vicens to admire the gardens and orange trees, or perhaps drop by Cathédrale Saint-Jean to view the superb architecture and spend a few moments in quiet reflection. To gain a greater understanding of Catalan culture and heritage, head to the museum Maison de la Catalanité.

Shopping

It's easy to fill up your time in Perpignan simply by wandering through the medieval streets, sipping a drink in one of the many pavement cafés and watching the world go by. Markets are held throughout Perpignan on a regular basis and add extra pizzazz to this already colourful town.

Visit the food market at Place République and try to find some antiques to take home from the town's main flea market. The pedestrianised streets to the rear of Le Castillet are your best bet when it comes to finding clothing and fashion items. Also, make sure you don't miss out on a trip to Maison Quinta with its incredible mix of textiles, antiques and items of furniture.

Eating and drinking

There's a wonderful selection of dining options in Perpignan, with cafés, bars and restaurants that cater to all tastes. Enjoy fine dining at Les Saisons and Le 17, or opt for a more causal experience along with a wide choice of menu options at L'Appart. Bistrot Burger is the place to go if you're on the lookout for fantastic homemade burgers.
