Perpignan est vraiment une magnifique ville, certainement la plus jolie du Languedoc-Roussillon. Il fait bon vivre et il y a 310j de soleil par an ! Il y a l'Espagne à 30mn, la plage à 15mn, la montagne à 1h....bref un paradis ! Il vaut mieux vivre à Perpignan qu'à Toulouse où Lyon à cause de la délinquance !
Esta es la una ciudad muy bonita y interesante. Me gusta también porque está cerca de España y pienso que sería fácil visitar pasar al otro lado de la frontera. ❤gracias
Beautiful city . If you can blot out all the modern things that are visible and just have the buildings with the streets you can just imagine characters like the four Musketeers riding into these streets and upto any of these houses dismounting and going inside . So romantic .

Eterno viajero La película excelente los habitantes donde están hay un poema que dice cincuenta balcones y ninguna flor he visto en la película quinientos balcones y ninguna flor.
J'ai été dans la ville il ya plusieurs annéés et elle m'a beaucoup plû. On sent un charactère mediterrané du sud de la France et profondement catalan pour l'architecture propre de la couronne aragonaise. Uno se siente casi como en España. Se dió la casualidad que estaba el festival de fotografía periodística en la ciudad con un montón de exposiciones. Es un atractivo especial de la ciudad.
Lovely city and those blue skies. I would like to see it on a weekday when there is some life in the place with shops open and ordinary people going about their business. Sundays are dead.
How regionally different France is architecturally. For instance, Perpignan in French Catalonia looks nothing like Paris, Strasbourg in Alsace, Saint-Malo in Brittany, Tours in the Loire Valley, Dijon in Burgundy, Lille in French Flanders, Bayonne in the French Basque Country, Bordeaux with its all-limestone facades, Toulouse with its all-brick facades, or even colorful Marseille or Nice in sunny Provence. BTW, the most charming, coastal small town near Perpignan is Collioure. It's like a mini Perpignan, just before reaching the Spanish border.
As I watch all these walking tours of these lovely southern French towns with all the sunshine, beaches and clear blue skies, I realise how miserable life is in the UK and how we have been fooled into thinking we have a good standard and quality of life. Nothing could be further from the truth. Next year I am most definitely going again to the South of France to wander around and soak up the atmosphere for a couple of months.
Hello, I confirm. I am 53 years old. I myself lived in the Parisian suburbs (7 kms from Paris - 4.3 miles) for 40 years then 7 years in Orleans (130 kms south of Paris - 80 miles). I've lived in Perpignan for 6 years now. I was lucky enough to get this transfer from my employer. The living environment, the climate, the sweetness of life, the color of the blue of the sky, with the very pure air which makes it so intense and deep are a balm to the heart. But also olive trees, palm trees, orange trees, lemon trees, the typical architecture of southern Europe, the clear horizon (forbidden to build buildings of more than 6 floors), Mont Canigou in the background and its 2,785 meters (109,645.7 inches) above sea level (and therefore the possibility of skiing in winter), Spain at 42 km (27 miles), the beaches of the Mediterranean on the other side at 10 km (6.2 miles), the many cultural events in summer, the sun most of the year and the pleasant temperatures open incomparably, compared to the north, the field of possibilities. One can only feel relaxed here. For a person like me who had the impression of living in black and white for more than 8 months of the year in Paris, life takes on unexpected colors. It's a huge chance to live here. As soon as I'm outside and take a walk, I feel like I'm on vacation. And this impression hasn't weakened. I wish you could one day experience this in your turn. In any case, I couldn't live in the north today. I'd definitely have a serious nervous breakdown after 6 months. Living in the south of France, in a city that offers the same possibilities as Perpignan, can sometimes make you think in a certain way, you have won the lottery, at least that of life. Kind regards,
@@LeFeroceLapin I must tell you, your description of life there is intoxicating. I have watched walking videos of many towns in France, and I keep coming back to this one. I am a 56 year old American and I have no idea really how my wife and I can relocate there any time soon, but I won't stop thinking about it. Thank you for the poetry of your words.

18:52 Como cambia la fachada de los edificios con el sólo hecho de estar pintados! Montevideo tiene mejores y más variadas construcciones arquitectónicas que ésta ciudad, pero ese simple hecho cambia totalmente la perspectiva. Ojalá la IMM haga algo al respecto, obligar a los dueños a pintar o lo que sea, como un cuidado visual de la ciudad. Le daría mucho más vida, siempre dije que Montevideo en un día soleado es una belleza pero los días grises y de lluvía parece opaca, melancólica, quedada en el tiempo. Esta es la visual a la que me refiero. Gracias por compartir, saludos!
I like Perpignan the way I like my least-likeable, wayward, troublesome child. I first visited back in 2013, and, having been all over southern France, and its ‘preserved in tourist aspic’ sights, was pleasantly surprised by the place, albeit, yes, with a slightly rough-around-the-edges, authentic, ‘take no prisoners’, feel to the city. However, not once (in about a dozen visits since) have I felt my personal safety even remotely in danger whilst there. (This includes several strolls around the so-called ‘notorious’ St Jacques area; alas, there have been mutterings for years, locally, about razing this entire area - really a small village within the city - and starting again, but I feel this would be an egregious error, both from a human point of view, and from an aesthetic point of view, as in my opinion, the old cluster of St Jacques houses and intermittent churches and small squares, is actually a potential jewel in the city’s crown. Perhaps they may have to gentrify it a bit to pull in the casual visitors, but to erase it from the cityscape?, well, I shudder at the thought, and pray they don’t.) But … and here’s what those not in the know may not be aware of: 1. Perpignan has a small, but lively and lovely central core: sure, the cultural barbarians bulldozed the old town walls to, you’ve guessed it, put up parking lots and roads, but they had mercy on the actual buildings within the walls, such that you can stroll around the town’s heart for a morning and be pleasantly surprised. 2. It’s sunny, almost always. I was once there in the depths of January one year and the thermometer shot up to 23/24/25 degrees on a blissful run of 3 days. Sure, doesn’t bode well for climate change enthusiasts (of which I am one), but hey! gotta take your pleasures where you can find them. 3. It’s close to beach and mountain. One of its delights is that splendid thing whereby you can take a photo in Perpignan with palm trees in foreground and Canigou dusted with snow, like icing on a birthday cake, in the distance. That sub-tropical/Alpine (strictly, in this case, Pyrenean) juxtaposition always fascinates me. 4. The people are, on the whole, warm and welcoming. 5. Spain is right on the doorstep; and to take you there a run of delicious wee Cote Vermeille villages, climaxing in the cute-as-a-button Collioure (due respect to dinky, but frankly slightly underwhelming Cerbere). If you take the more direct route and the fast train from Perpignan, you can be in Dali’s birthplace in 20 minutes, or 20 minutes further down the line again and the quite glorious Old Town ensemble of Girona (where the city fathers - and mothers! - wisely opted to leave the city walls, such that they provide one of the most wonderful urban-based walks in all Spain), and just another 40 minutes after that, perhaps Spain’s most world-renowned city. (Due respect to the non-Catalans amongst us.) So there you have it. Perpignan is worth the hike. I did it on a Ouigo (Paris-Perpignan return) a couple of years back for less than the price of a round of drinks. Or thereabouts.
Omg I live 2h from that city and no one told me HOW BEAUTIFUL this town was !! Why my parents didn't move out there??? I defenitively stay my whole life there, there's everything that I want : SUN, SEA, FAMILY not 2h away, TOULOUSE 2h away and BARCELONA 1h22 away !! OMG !! And palm treas 😍😍 And beautiful momuments and houses, I chocked why do I find out this city now, I'm 20, well I don't have a car but still don't get why no one told be about this place
Viendo estas imagenes entiendo porque estamos tan lejos de esa realidad. No al pedo tienen mas de 1500 años de historia los europeos. Argentina apenas 200 como "republica"
Y sí, es muy cierto, hay muchos siglos de evolución en sus historias, y así y todo tampoco tienen todo resuelto! Es claro que nos queda un largo camino
Los años o siglos hoy no es importante . Un país puede ser desarrollado en todo y ser joven Ej : Australia, Nueva Zelanda, Israel . Depende de los gobiernos y educación de sus habitantes
Everyone says "wow it's beautiful", but I can tell you that as a resident of this city you would not stay there long haha because it gets boring very quickly
@@4KWALK Conventions, specialized shops etc... Like you find in a bigger city. We are stuck between toulouse/montpellier and barcelona. All way bigger, way more animated cities. Of course we have the mountains and beaches very close, but when you live there, it loses some of it's magic. Parisians come here for vacations because it's fresh for them.
