Culture, heritage and Catalan traditions
During your camping holiday in Perpignan, dive into the history and heritage of a city with a rich past. Walk along the Castillet ramparts, visit the Casa Pairal museum, or explore the Palace of the Kings of Majorca, a Gothic medieval gem listed among the most beautiful monuments in France. There, you’ll uncover the foundations of the former Catalan kingdom and enjoy breathtaking views over the city’s rooftops and the Pyrenean peaks.
Continue your visit with the majestic Saint-Jean-Baptiste Cathedral, a religious symbol of Roussillon. Stroll through lively squares, artisan shops, art galleries and open-air summer exhibitions. Every Thursday evening in summer, experience Les Jeudis de Perpignan, a vibrant citywide festival featuring live music, street shows, night markets, food trucks and festive Catalan flair.
Charming villages and natural landscapes
Your campsite near Perpignan is also the perfect base for exploring the gems of the Pyrénées-Orientales:
- Wander through Collioure, a picturesque fishing village with artists’ studios and flower-filled streets,
- Follow the coastal path from Cerbère to Argelès, passing Cape Béar, Paulilles Bay and the wild coves of the Côte Vermeille,
- Hop aboard the iconic Yellow Train of Cerdagne, crossing mountains, forests and spectacular viaducts at over 1,500 meters above sea level.
Don’t miss the Orgues of Ille-sur-Têt, stunning rock formations sculpted by erosion — perfect for an evening stroll.
Finally, soak up the atmosphere of the traditional Languedoc-Roussillon markets, bursting with local color and flavor: Tuesday mornings in Saint-Cyprien, Friday in Canet-en-Roussillon, and Saturday in downtown Perpignan — a great way to sample Catalan products and pick up authentic souvenirs.
