Perpignan’s old town is a curious network of citrus-coloured houses lining little alleyways and palm-shaded squares. The Gothic Cathédral St-Jean is impressive, as are the Hôtel de Ville, the Art Nouveau Hôtel Pams and the Castillet, now a museum. Once the capital of the Kingdom of Mallorca, the city is still home to the star-shaped Palace of the Kings of Mallorca, which offers stunning coastal views. Don’t miss the Musée d'art Hyacinthe Rigaud, or the wonderful Musée de Préhistoire de Tautavel, in the caves to the north of town.
Centuries of Spanish influence mean that the region’s cuisine is infused with a plethora of flavours, and beautifully accompanied by wine crafted from local vines. Savour local specialities at some of the best places to stay in Perpignan.
