From the Castillet to the Palais des Rois de Majorque and the Galeries Lafayette, get out your trainers and cameras: it's a steep climb, but well worth the effort!

 

 

The Castillet

The Castillet, a true emblem of Perpignan, is much more than just a historic monument.

It also houses the Casa Pairal museum, which offers a fascinating journey through time to the heart of Catalan identity.

 

 

The highlight is the top of the dungeon. Proudly dominating the urban landscape, the summit of the Castillet rewards visitors with a breathtaking panoramic view.

 

At 360 degrees, the eyes take in the city centre and far beyond, offering a breathtaking spectacle of ochre roofs and Pyrenean mountains melting into the horizon. But reaching this enchanting view is not without effort. You have to climb no fewer than 142 steps, each one punctuated by the excitement of what awaits you at the summit.

 

A climb worth a thousand memories, and one that will leave images in your mind for years to come.

The Galeries Lafayette terrace

After a day exploring the bustling streets of the city centre or an exhilarating shopping spree, nothing beats a well-earned break on this terrace.

 

Imagine yourself, comfortably seated with a sweet in hand, overlooking the city and its architectural treasures. Sunlight gently caresses your skin as you admire the breathtaking views of the typical Mediterranean rooftops and the majestic mountains in the background.

 

Whether you're a regular or a visitor to the city, the Galeries Lafayette terrace offers the perfect sanctuary to savour the moment. It's the perfect place to recharge your batteries, share precious moments with friends or simply contemplate the world below you.

 

Let yourself be carried away by the magic of the panoramic views from the heights of Galeries Lafayette.
