Learning French in Perpignan, between the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees, allows you to discover a city where millennial history and Catalan traditions create a unique atmosphere. In the very south of France, very close to Spain, Perpignan is a medium-sized city bathed in sunshine.
The city’s economic potential is mainly based on the trade in fruit and vegetables, products for which Perpignan is the leading European platform. Tourism, linked to the seaside resorts of the Mediterranean coast and the tertiary sector are developing. Its port and airport make it a strategic commercial and tourist hub.
Rich in a thousand-year-old history, Perpignan retains many witnesses of its past: the Palace of the Kings of Majorca, an impressive medieval vestige of the time when the city was capital, the St-Jean-Baptiste cathedral and its Campo Santo, the Castillet and the Casa Pairal for example. The Visa pour l’Image festival, dedicated to journalism photography, takes place there every September.
In Perpignan, we like to cultivate Catalan traditions such as the “sardana”, a dance that is practiced in a circle holding hands, to the sound of a “cobla”, a musical group of wind and percussion instruments. But there are many others like cargolade and croquants which are culinary specialties.
