Framed by the peaks of the Pyrenees, Perpignan radiates out from the tight knot of the old town's warren of alleys, palm-shaded squares and shabby tenements painted in shades of lemon, peach and tangerine.

15 Best Things to Do in Perpignan (France)

For just a short time in the medieval period Perpignan was a European powerhouse. The Roussillon city just in from the Mediterranean was the capital of the Kingdom of Majorca, and during these years it was bestowed with its characteristic russet-coloured medieval monuments made with bricks.

The old quarter is scattered with vestiges from this chapter, like the Palace of the Kings of Majorca or the menacing Castillet, which controlled traffic into this nexus of maritime trade. Now, Perpignan has a Catalan personality; many people speak the language, and you can tell from the architecture, food and culture than you’re at the meeting point between historical nations.

Lets explore the best things to do in Perpignan :

1. Palais des Rois de Majorque

The Kingdom of Majorca didn’t control Perpigan for much more than 70 years, from 1276 to 1349, but you can still see the mark it made on the city.

The palace occupies a large elevated space to the south of Perpignan’s old centre, and was built to be the seat of power for the entire kingdom.

It was started at the end of the 1200s and fuses romanesque and later gothic architecture.

The Cour d’Honneur courtyard with two tiers of galleries is marvellous, as are the chapels and the Great Hall where the court was held.

Every August the spacious courtyards and gardens welcome an event that reveals Perpignan’s Iberian soul: The Guitares au Palais runs for three days and puts on live guitar performances by flamenco, classical, pop and jazz artists.

2. Perpignan Cathedral

Started in the 1300s, this building didn’t actually become Perpignan’s cathedral until the beginning of the 1600s when the “see” was relocated here from nearby Elne.

Like nearly all of the city’s medieval architecture, it has a southern gothic design, and its construction was ordered by King Sancho II of Majorca.

If the exterior is modest the decoration inside the cathedral is rich, with plenty of things to keep your eyes peeled for:  Don’t miss the 14th and 15th-century altarpiece, the organ, which has painted panels and carvings from 1504 and most recommended of all is the “Dévot Christ” chapel, with a haunting wooden sculpture of Jesus on the cross crafted in the 1300s.

3. Perpignan Castillet

The city’s most photographed sight is the tough gatehouse that commanded the main entrance-way to the city from the 1300s onwards.

The tower goes back to the Kingdom of Majorca and was built with bricks and marble and crowned with outsized decorative crenellations.

When Perpignan came under French control the Castillet was enlarged by Louis XI who added the tallest part, the turret capped by a cupola, and in the 18th and 19th centuries it was converted into a prison.

There’s a museum about Catalan folk traditions inside and you can go up the spiral stairway with 142 steps to see Perpignan from the terrace.

4. Hôtel de Ville

Founded in the early 1300s under the orders of King Sancho I, the Hall of the Consuls was the ancestor of Perpignan’s city hall, where the city’s representatives would meet.

The hall, with its fabulous 15th-century coffered wooden ceiling, is still at the heart of the complex and is now used for weddings.

Later, in the 16th and 17th centuries the renaissance arcaded courtyard and the remainder of the administrative buildings were added.

In the courtyard you can pause to contemplate La Méditerranée, a bronze sculpture by noted 19th and 20th-century artist Arsitide Maillol.

5. Loge de Mer

John I of Aragon ordered this gothic civic building to be constructed in the late-14th century to help regulate sea trade: It was the stock exchange and sea consulate office, and so the hub of commerce in the old centre, but also housed the town hall for a time.

The building was expanded by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in the 16th century, which a plaque dated 1540 makes clear.

Another intriguing clue about the Loge de Mer’s function is the weathervane on the corner with a model of a galleon.

6. Musée des Monnaies et Médailles Joseph Puig

On Avenue de Grande Bretagne is the Belle Époque Villa Les Tilleuls, built in 1907 and designed by Viggo Dorph-Petersen, a Danish architect responsible for many palatial bourgeois houses and châteaux in and around Perpignan at the turn of the century.

Within is a diverting collection of coins bequeathed by Perpignan businessman Joseph Puig: The inventory is so large that only a tiny portion can be displayed (2,500 of 45,000!). The majority of these are Catalan in origin, minted in Barcelona, Valencia, Majorca and here in Perpignan, but there also examples from Ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome.

7. Hôtel Pams

Tucked down Rue Emile Zola, this bourgeois mansion was transformed in the late-1890s for the prominent politician Jules Pams, who would become Minister of the Interior during the First World War.

From the outside it’s unprepossessing, but the interiors, rear patio and garden are opulently decorated in the art nouveau and art deco styles.

In the entrance hall, lit by a beautiful skylight, check out the portrait of Madame Jules Pams by the vaunted contemporary painter Jacques-Émile Blanche, and appreciate the “grand escalier”, made with onyx and stucco.

In the refined garden are statues of the Greek god Pan and Venus of the Myrtles.

8. Casa Xanxo

A Catalan gothic mansion in the old town, Casa Xanxo was built at the start of the 16th-century for Bernat Xanxo who was a rich merchant draper.

As you pass on Rue de la Main de Fer you can tell from the large marble archivolt entrance and sculpted stonework in the facade that this was a home designed to convey wealth.

The frieze above the doorway illustrates the battle between good and evil, evoking the Seven Deadly Sins.

Entrance is free and you can investigate the old warehouses and vaulted cellar for storing cloth.

On the first floor take a look around the ceremonial room which has wooden panelling and a coffered ceiling.

9. Fort de Salses

A few kilometres north of the city was the former border between Spain and France, which was the scene of some notoriously bloody battles and sieges.

The Spanish-built Fort de Salses witnessed many of these conflicts, and was commissioned by the Catholic Monarchs at the end of the 15th century.

At the time it was a wonder of military architecture, with walls 10 metres thick and a sophisticated system of scarps, bastions and corner towers, surrounded by a moat, that could keep attackers at bay for months on end.

It was under siege even before it could be completed and saw endless action until it became part of France after the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659.

10. Torreilles Plage Argeles

Anyone craving some R&R by the Mediterranean will be in luck as two of the top beaches in Languedoc-Roussillon are less than 20 kilometres away.

Starting in the south, Argelès is a wide tranche of silky white sand that seems to go on forever.

We rated it as one of the best beaches in all of France, and is unbeatable if you want peace and quiet as northern reaches are skirted by nothing more than pine forest.

A few minutes northeast is Torreilles with another long and straight ribbon on white sand.

Torreilles is also remote and serene, but has a clutch of beachfront restaurants and bars where you can hire sun loungers.

11. Castelnou

Not content with being in France’s reputable inventory of the “most beautiful villages” the rustic hillside settlement of Castelnou was also ranked as the country’s seventh-favourite village in 2015. Castlenou’s engaging stone houses are arranged on a little web of alleys with stairways entered via a medieval gate.

Check out the walls of these homes, as several have semi-circular medieval bread ovens grafted into them.

High above on a daunting ridge is the Vicomtal Castle, founded in the 900s and also under the control of the Kingdom of Majorca in the 15th century.

12. Orgues d’Ille-sur-Têt

Just outside the town of Ille-sur-Têt is a bizarre natural rock formation with pillars of rock labelled as “orgues” or organs in a miniature version of Turkey’s Cappadocia or the USA’s Bryce Canyon.

These limestone columns are the product of four million years of erosion and have gnarled sides streaked with yellow and white.

You can go into the valley to walk among these otherworldly pillars or get a neat aerial view on the road from Ille-sur-Têt to Montalba.

Up in the foothills of the Pyrenees, Céret is a picturesque town with a modern art museum that a much larger city would be proud to call its own.

There are works by Matisse, Chagall, Soutine and Herbin, many impressionist pieces and a great summary fauvism.

The town’s artistic heritage goes back to the cubist movement, when, in the years before the war, it was a honey-pot for artists like Picasso, Braque, Masson, Juan Gris and Max Jacob, who travelled down from Montmartre and formed a community in the town.

14. USA Perpignan

As with most of south-western France the local sport of choice is rugby.

But right now Perpignan’s legendary rugby team, founded in 1902, is in the doldrums.

After playing in the premier Top 14 for decades USA Perpignan has found itself in the second tier, Rugby Pro D2. The support remains vibrant though,  and the 15,000-seater Stade Aimé Giral gets close to capacity crowds during the season from August to May, with big manifestations of Catalan pride.

USA Perpignan has more fan clubs than any other rugby team in France and is well-known for La Bronca, a chant sung when the opposition enters the pitch.

15. Cuisine

Just like everything else in Perpignan the food has a strong Catalan accent.

Many of the traditional restaurants in the city serve paella and other saffron-infused rice dishes.

If you’re an adventurous diner you can give a try to cargols à la llauna, which are snails bake or grilled and accompanied with aioli or vinaigrette.

If this piques your curiosity then you can pay a visit to L’Escargot de Roussillon on Place de la République, a specialty shop selling almost nothing but fresh snails and the herbs you need to cook them.

Tourism, holidays & weekends guide in the Pyrénées-Orientales

Situated thirty kilometres form the Spanish border, Perpignan, city of Art and History, retains from its past as the former continental capital of the kingdom of Majorca an historic centre of harmonious architecture, predominantly in the Gothic style.

Constructed at the end of the 14th century, then modified under Louis XI, the celebrated Castillet, the terrace of which gives an uninterrupted view over the roofs of the city, is the symbol of Perpignan. Once you have passed through the imposing fortified entrance, stroll along the little streets of shops, then set off to discover the treasures of the old town: the 14th-18th century Cathedral of St John the Baptist, topped with a wrought-iron bell tower, the choir of which has a 17th century marble altarpiece and whose Devout Christ chapel holds a 14th century woodcarving of Christ; the old funeral cloister of Saint-Jean from the beginning of the 14th century - the Campo Santo - the largest and oldest of this type in France; the Place de la Loge with its remarkable Gothic style building, the Loge de Mer; a palace-fortress of the Kings of Majorca from the 13th and 14th centuries, and its gardens overlooking the town; the forecourt of the Town Hall with its bronze statue by the sculptor Maillol, "La Méditerranée"...

You can also enjoy a moment of relaxation, ambling around the heart of the Bir Hakeim square or along the majestic Promenade des Platanes, with its many statues.

The Castillet, which was a gateway to the town then a state prison before being classed as an Historic Building in 1889, is now home to a museum which traces the history of North Catalonia from Antiquity to the present day.

Each year, around 23 April, the festival of Sant Jordi, the patron saint of Catalonia, is celebrated. Place Gambetta is transformed into a real open air bookshop, where the book is given pride of place by of publishers, writers and booksellers. Full of things to see and do, this special day is also that of the rose, which has been celebrated here since the 15th century!

Additional information Perpignan

Catalan city par excellence, Perpignan takes place in the department of Pyrénées-Orientales , in the heart of the Occitania region. Situated about thirty kilometers from the Spanish border, this city of art and history is located in the center of the Roussillon plain, about ten kilometers from Canet-en-Roussillon and the Mediterranean Sea.

Former Continental Capital of the Kingdom of Majorca between 1276 and 1344, Perpignan was born in the ninth century. But it was not before the end of the 10th century that the city really took off, becoming capital of the counts of Roussillon. Long Spanish, the Catalan city will have to wait until the middle of the XVIIth century to join the kingdom of France.

Very attached to its roots and its Catalan culture, Perpignan is today mainly a tourist city. The charm of its atmosphere, its architectural heritage and its festive events make it an ideal place to spend holidays in the south of France.

Things to see and do

Fortress palace of the fourteenth century, the palace of the Kings of Majorca dominates the plain and the valley of Roussillon. Surrounded by gardens, it has been listed in the Historical Monuments, and classified for its old door of the sixteenth century. Of gothic style under Oriental influence, it allows notably to appreciate the palace Majorcan of James II. On two levels, the gardens offer a breathtaking view of the Canigou massif, the Mediterranean Sea, Força Réal , or the plain of Roussillon. Today, the site is the scene of many festivities throughout the year.

Former entrance to the ramparts, the Castillet now houses a Catalan museum of popular arts and traditions. Classified as a Historical Monument, the 14th-century building housed a prison for a while and is a fine example of military architecture in the region.

The lodge of Mer and the town hall form a beautiful medieval ensemble. The first, in Gothic style, used to serve as a commercial court, and now houses a cafe. The town hall was built in the 14th and 17th centuries.

The religious buildings are numerous in Perpignan, starting with the cathedral Saint-Jean-Baptiste built between the fourteenth and the sixteenth century. In southern Gothic style, it has been classified as a Historic Monument. The oldest funerary cloister in France, the Campo Santo takes place by his side, but is unfortunately more whole. Not far from there, Saint-Jean-le-Vieux is an old Romanesque collegiate church today partly disused. Also classified as a Historic Monument, it has a beautiful southern white marble portal. The beauty of the 13th-century Saint-Jacques church, Sainte-Marie-et-Saint-Pierre church of Château-Roussillon, the Minimes convent and Notre-Dame-la -Réal which dates from the fourteenth century.

The fortifications of Perpignan are made up of all the military constructions that surround the city. In addition to Castillet, the palace of the Kings of Majorca and the Citadel, one can discover during walks the telescope of Canet, as well as part of the ramparts.

In the center you can admire the Casa Xanxo, a beautiful Gothic house from the beginning of the 16th century, or the Saint-Martin church rebuilt in the 1920s in a mixture of Art Deco and Neo-Romanesque.

Several museums take place in Perpignan, like the Hyacinthe-Rigaud Museum. It reveals beautiful collections of paintings and decorative arts, including works by Pablo Picasso. You can also discover the Museum of Natural History, as well as the Museum of Coins and Medals Joseph Puig.

The natural heritage of Perpignan is also of great interest. You will love to stroll in the square Bir-Hakeim or on the promenade of the plane trees with its beautiful statues.

Do not miss to go to the station of Perpignan, this one was designated by the painter Salvador Dalí, as the center of the world.

The Top Things to See and Do in Perpignan, Southern France

Just 30 minutes from the Spanish border, on the south coast of France , you can still spot hints of this city’s enigmatic past. Stroll through the medieval streets to Le Castillet, or tour Palais des Rois de Majorque, to see its Catalan heritage. From art galleries to Middle Eastern cafes, here are the best things to see and do on your next trip to Perpignan. The yellow-and-red horizontal flags, plus the bilingual street signs, show there’s more to Perpignan than meets the eye. Once the continental capital of the Kingdom of Mallorca, Perpignan old town is also peppered with grand architectural throwbacks to its former glories as a Spanish city. It’s common for this cultural French-Spanish blend to spill out joyfully onto the streets, so make sure you visit when one of its many festivals is in full flow.

1. head to the top of le castillet.

Architectural Landmark

This superbly preserved former prison is one of the enduring emblems of Perpignan. Its burnt-orange walls leave no doubt as to its Mediterranean locale, while the turrets and Catalan flag hint at the fascinating history of the region. The former main gate, Le Castillet, which dates back to the 14th century, houses a museum, where entry is free on the first Sunday of the month. Bring comfortable shoes: there are 142 steps to the top.

2. Picnic at the Parc Sant-Vicens

Open every day from March until October, this peaceful hideaway east of the city is a perfect spot for family picnics. A large terrace with benches faces the lake, which features water fountains and a noisy raft of ducks. They’re not the only wildlife on the scene, with a biodiversity among the reeds, groves and sycamores that is home to more than 200 species.

3. Take a tour of the Palais des Rois de Majorque

Historical Landmark

This gothic palace is a 14th-century remnant from the time when Perpignan was the capital of the Kingdom of Mallorca. These days, it is one of the main cultural hubs of the prefecture, with regular concerts and events taking place inside its lime-coated stone walls. For a small entrance fee, you can arrange for a 50-minute guided tour around the gardens, throne room and courtyard.

5. Enjoy the festivities at Les Jeudis de Perpignan

Every Thursday evening in July and August, the streets of Perpignan come alive with dance, music and theatre. Les Jeudis de Perpignan is a much-loved annual festival where the conviviality is spread over a dozen locations around the historic town centre. Wander the streets from 6pm until midnight to enjoy a wealth of performers, from salsa dancers and jazz singers to jugglers and stilt-walkers, along with extravagant street parade floats.

6. Find the centre of the universe at La Gare de Perpignan

More than 1,125km (700mi) from Perpignan, in Museum Ludwig in Cologne, is a painting by Salvador Dalí that the surrealist artist believed depicted the centre of the universe: it is of Perpignan railway station. Dalí was inspired to create this oil canvas after a vision he had at the station in 1963. Subsequently, in a reciprocal tribute, the station has been decorated in distinctive Dalí styles and colours.

7. Eat baklava and tagine at Le Tajine de Zahra

Restaurant, Moroccan

Still commonly referred to by its former name, La Bèrbère, this local favourite serves delicious North African cuisine from its humble premises on Rue des Embruns. They possess a mastery of spices and use traditional Berber cooking techniques, including charcoal kanoun stoves, so you can tuck into a variety of kebabs, tagines and couscous dishes. For dessert, try the generous selection of baklava served with mint tea.

8. Watch the sardana on Saint John the Baptist Day

Natural Feature

There’s no better time to see an overt demonstration of Perpignan’s Catalan pride than on 24 June, known as Saint John the Baptist Day. Locals light a midnight bonfire on the Pyrenean mountain of Canigou before commencing the festivities. This includes a traditional Catalan sardana, a dance that sees participants join hands in a circle and play out choreographed steps to music.

9. Visit Hyacinthe Rigaud Museum

Spread over two central mansions on Rue Mailly, the art galleries here are divided into three parts spanning 500 years. You’ll find gothic, baroque and modern periods all covered, from the 15th to the 20th centuries. There are also works by the portrait artist Hyacinthe Rigaud, the local artist after whom the museum is named. Refreshingly, the museum offers sensory and storytelling sessions tailored to toddlers as young as 18 months.

10. Try the wine at Domaine Rière Cadène

The region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees mountains is known as the Roussillon. It is renowned for a climate and terroir capable of producing world-class wines. This family-run vineyard, 6km (4mi) north of central Perpignan, knows this only too well, having been producing wines since 1904. Call in advance and they’ll be happy to arrange a two-hour wine-tasting session.

Tour guides flock to a trivia competition that demands encyclopedic knowledge of NYC

Emily Malterre

The Panorama Challenge is one of the fiercest trivia competition in New York and requires encyclopedic knowledge of the city. It's where tour guides can shine.

SCOTT DETROW, HOST:

The Panorama Challenge is one of the fiercest trivia competitions in New York City. It takes place at the Queens Museum, which houses a scale model of New York that was first created for the 1964 World's Fair. This annual trivia challenge requires encyclopedic knowledge of the city and attracts those who know it best, mostly tour guides. Earlier this month, reporter Emily Malterre attended the 2024 Panorama Challenge.

JONATHAN TURER: How many people in the room have been to Panorama Challenge before?

EMILY MALTERRE, BYLINE: Quizmaster Jonathan Turer welcomes the crowd.

TURER: How many people have one Panorama Challenge before?

MALTERRE: Two hundred New York City nerds are ready for a cutthroat competition. It's the first year back from the pandemic.

MEGAN MAROD: Well, so we're all a part of team GANYC Panic. It stands for the Guides Association of New York City.

MALTERRE: Megan Marod is a proud, licensed tour guide. This eight-member team has never won the Panorama Challenge since it started in 2007.

MAROD: I think everyone's happy. It's a lot of history fanatics and New York City fanatics all, like, at a history and New York City fanatic party.

MALTERRE: The competitors are all standing on walkways above the Panorama exhibit. They look down on 895,000 miniature buildings, plus trees, roads, even a tiny plane on a string that continuously takes off and lands at the airport. It gives you the feeling that you are looming over the city. The model includes all five boroughs - Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. Ayinde Stevens is a guide who specializes in the subway and gives tours of Grand Central Terminal. He says he's mostly prepared.

AYINDE STEVENS: I feel really good tonight except for one category - Staten Island. I love New York City to death, but I barely go to Staten Island.

MALTERRE: The competition includes some general New York trivia, but half of the questions are extra niche, like this one, which starts with a clip from the movie "Enchanted."

(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)

UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: The finale of this musical number takes place in front of a sculpture created by the first woman to receive a public art commission in New York City. Pros, name the sculptor.

MALTERRE: If you didn't immediately have sculptor Emma Stebbins on the tip of your tongue, don't worry, neither did I. And some questions get quite technical.

UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: Pros, from 1951 to 1953, which agency ran the subways from the offices located above the tracks at Jay Street?

MALTERRE: There are people here who actually knew the answer...

UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: Wow.

MALTERRE: ...The New York City Board of Transportation, which existed only until the 1950s. Sixty questions later, the judges tally up scores. David Madore, a tour guide and Broadway musician, was hopeful about GANYC Panic's chances.

You had concerns about Staten Island. How did that go?

DAVID MADORE: Well, we still have concerns about Staten Island regardless, but we seemed to come through on a few of those questions.

MALTERRE: Then it's time for the big reveal from Quizmaster Turer.

TURER: In first place...

UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: Oh, God.

TURER: ...With 57 points, GANYC Panic.

MALTERRE: The prize for winning the Panorama Challenge? Their team name carved on a plaque and bragging rights for the rest of the year.

How to buy madonna tickets for 2024 tour.

When you buy through our links, Business Insider may earn an affiliate commission. Learn more

Madonna is wrapping up her current concert tour over the next few days with a trilogy of shows in Mexico City. Prices have been climbing over recent days, so you'll have to be sharp if you want to buy Madonna tickets for these dates while you can for the The Celebration Tour.

Before she takes her final bow of the Celebration Tour concert series in April 2024, Madonna will have performed 52 shows across 27 cities in the US, Canada, and Mexico. While many dates earlier in the tour were available for under $100, these final dates will cost you at least $245 at the time of writing. Still, it's a few grand cheaper than the Swifties have been paying this year.

• More events: Olivia Rodrigo tickets | Taylor Swift tickets | Adele tickets | Rolling Stones tickets

With the concert series being a retrospective celebration of her iconic career, The Celebration Tour's setlist unsurprisingly includes plenty of Madonna's timeless hits. Songs like "Like a Prayer," "Vogue," "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," and "Like a Virgin" have been performed across various dates on her tour.

We've got you covered if you're still looking for tickets to Madonna's Celebration Tour. Here's our breakdown of Madonna's remaining 2024 tour schedule, purchasing details, and original and resale ticket prices. You can also browse the available tickets for sale on StubHub and Vivid Seats at your leisure.

Madonna 2024 tour schedule

All concert times are listed in local time zones.

How to buy tickets for Madonna's 2024 concert tour

Madonna tickets have been on sale for a while now, so all original ones via Ticketmaster are long gone.

However, Madonna tickets are still available through verified resale vendors like StubHub and Vivid Seats .

How much do Madonna tickets cost?

The price for standard original tickets to Madonna's 2024 tour varies depending on date, location, and demand. For example, concert dates in major cities like New York City tend to be more expensive.

Standard original tickets still available on Ticketmaster a few weeks ago  were comparable to prices on verified resale platforms. However, the remaining original tickets have all been snapped up though, so resale vendors are your only hope now.

The Celebration Tour originally had VIP tickets available for premium prices. Madonna's 2024 concert series had The Immaculate VIP Package, Iconic VIP Package), You Can Dance Premium Ticket Package, and Where's The Party Premium Ticket Package. The prices for original tickets for each package on Ticketmaster started at $1,750, $895, $545, and $475, respectively.

Who is opening for Madonna's tour?

Madonna has not announced any additional opening acts for her 2024 concert dates. However, the artist is joined by Bob the Drag Queen, a special guest in each of her shows, who helps introduce the concert and interacts with Madonna as the emcee.

Madonna's 2024 tour began with the international leg in Europe, so the only remaining concerts in The Celebration Tour outside the United States are in Mexico.

In April, she'll have five performances in Mexico City, where she'll take her final bow of The Celebration Tour on April 26.
