Amongst the possibilities we chose the town of Perpignan that is situated at only a couple of hours drive from Barcelona on the other side of the border.<\/p>\n<p>For us who live in Barcelona, Perpignan represents the first city that tells us we arrived in France, which means croissants, pain au chocolat (chocolate bread) and pain au raisin (bread with raisins), we adore French bakery! Nevertheless, apart from filling our stomach with croissants, we also discovered that Perpignan and the surroundings are amongst the nicest places in the <strong>South of France<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>There are many <strong>things to do in Perpignan<\/strong> and the area around, it well deserves a weekend break from Barcelona or any other cities around. There are numerous villages listed in the official list of the most beautiful ones in France, we will recommend you those that we really loved.<\/p>\n<h2>Perpignan<\/h2>\n<p>Perpignan is a town with around 100,000 habitants, we visited it this time during the night. It was really cold out there, but the Christmas atmosphere and mulled wine compensated for our suffering:) Our favorite <strong>places to visit in Perpignan<\/strong> are the Castillet, the antique town gate of the old town and the Saint Jean-Baptiste Cathedral.<\/p>\n<p>It is also very pleasant to stroll on the bank of the River T\u00eat, and although Perpignan is a relatively small city, you can find a big variety of shops in the center and many things to do especially in its surrondings.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-951 size-full\" title=\"Perpignan Old Gate | Things to do in Perpignan\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.surfingtheplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2015\/01\/Perpignan2.jpg?strip=all&resize=1000%2C667\" alt=\"Perpignan Old Gate | Things to do in Perpignan\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Evol<\/h2>\n<p>This small village situated off the main road is one of the nicest villages in the South of France. The Romanesque church stands as a guard of the place, and getting lost in the narrow streets paved with stones is a real pleasure.
