Christmas in Perpignan

It’s been a tough year, there’s no doubt about it, so if you feel it’s appropriate for you, grab your mask and your attestation and enjoy a little festive cheer with Christmas in Perpignan.

Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift or simply soaking up the festive atmosphere, the lights are on, the market is open and the big wheel is readying itself to spin… Christmas has landed in Perpignan.

Marché de Noël

Along the banks of Quai Vauban, the 32 wooden chalets nestle under twinkling lights. You can find beautiful, artisanal gifts for the whole family and enjoy some of the finer Christmas offerings such as oysters and Muscat (take away only).

Numbers are limited to 500 and a one-way system is in place.

La Grande Roue

In Place de la Victoire, overlooking the historic Castillet, Perpignan’s very own Eye has been given the green light. Ferris wheel fans can soar high above the town and take in the magical scene while the little ones enjoy the rides back on the ground.

Fair Rides

Not one but TWO Christmas fun fairs have thrown open their doors in Place de la Catalogne (in front of the old Fnac building) and Place Arago.

Ice rink

We are still unsure as to whether the ice rink in Place de République will be able to open. Certain press outlets are saying yes but the dedicated Facebook page is saying no. We’ll try to keep you updated but if anyone hears anything, please let us know.
