PO News Article on Perpignan
The ancient capital of Catalonia.  Well worth a day (or indeed a longer) visit by car or by train (only 15 mins from Argeles train station with a 12 minute very well signposted walk into the centre of the city).  

In the centre you will find the tourist office, bars, cafes and shops (boutiques to department stores) ... as well as the little tourist train which takes a 45 minute trip around the city centre passing many of the historical attractions on route.

The major tourist attractions are all within easy walking distance of the centre and train station.  We would recommend that you read the excellent PO News article on Perpignan (link above) for a great introduction.

The pictures below were taken during a short day trip in early July 2015 ...

The canal that runs through the centre of Perpignan - lined with bars and resaurants
Tourist bikes like in many major cities nowadays
Cafes and restaurants galore
Catalan flag is everywhere ...
Le petit train .... 45 minute trip (7 Euros) round the city centre
Lots of good quality shopping
