I'm in Perpignan now & it's red hot, bring plenty of sun tan lotion.
Anyone want any Restaurant recommendations or places to visit around Perpignan then send me a PM.
There are four adults in our party and we have each had 3 courses plus coffee and a couple bottles of wine & we have been paying around 160 euros which works out about £145, we have been going to restaurants as opposed to Cafés.
Beer isn't particularly cheap, but we have been paying around 3 euros per glass of wine which is about £2.30, we have found it far cheaper to drink Wine. Unfortunately Beer can be around £5 a pint in Perpignan, so get on the Wine.
When you get the bill service is always included so you don't need to tip. We have been to the Beach quite a lot and within 25 minutes drive there are plenty of sea side resorts, with the nearest being Canet a Plage which is less than 7 miles, but for me not the best resort. Collioure is a beautiful seaside resort and about 30 minutes easy drive from Perpignan, it does get busy so get there early to get parking. Argeles Sur Mer (Racou Beach) is about 20 minutes away and miles of sandy Beach with free parking, we went there today and loved it.
Castelnou is a very pretty village, 20 miles away where you can get lunch and have a relaxing stroll around the Village which is built around a Castle, very quaint and peaceful.
All the places we have been we have really liked and found really nice.
As regards the RL, all the Catalans fans we have met really enjoy the Rugby and are very friendly and appreciate good RL.
Bon Voyage.
