Perpignan and Collioure

Perpignan, which has already captured the hearts of tourists, was once the capital of the Kingdom of Mallorca, but now the city is famous for its delicate, exquisite wines, the subtle bouquet of which is created from the best grapes grown in the fertile soils of the province. Art lovers will also want to visit the train station, the walls and ceiling of which were painted by Salvador Dalí himself.

The historical charm of Perpignan cannot be compared to the glamour of Collioure. Although the city has been known since the times of the Greeks and Phoenicians, who chose it as a seaport, Collioure became famous thanks to its residents. Throughout the 19th century, the most prominent representatives of the European bohemia lived here: Chagall, Cézanne, Picasso, Deren, and Dufy.
