Perpignan

Tucked into the Roussillon plain between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean, Perpignan is a place whose character is shaped by the Têt River and its southern French climate. Once the capital of the Kingdom of Majorca, it retains a distinct Catalan identity expressed in local traditions, food and language. The Palace of the Kings of Majorca, begun in the late 13th century, stands above the old centre, while the brick Castillet recalls the city’s former fortified gates. Markets and streets around Place de la République keep the centre active throughout the week. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Perpignan and French Catalonia.
