This sun-drenched city in southern France puts you within easy reach of the coast, the countryside, and some of the prettiest villages you can imagine.<\/h3>\n<p>And with our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/en-ie\/flights-to-perpignan\">great value direct flights from Dublin to Perpignan<\/a>, it\u2019s all a lot closer than you might think. Whether you\u2019re in the mood for coastal hikes, exploring regional wines, or taking a wander through medieval streets, here are three easy day trips that show off the best of the region.<\/p>\n<h2>Things to do in Perpignan<\/h2>\n<p>Set between the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees, Perpignan is a small city with a big personality. Here, French and Catalan cultures are naturally intertwined \u2014 you\u2019ll taste both influences in the city&#8217;s restaurants and caf\u00e9s, hear both languages on the street, and get a sense of the distinct local traditions they give rise to. The food scene is proudly local, with Catalan-style dishes like cargolade (grilled snails), boles de picolat (meatballs in sauce), and plenty of fresh seafood showing up on menus across the city.<\/p>\n<p>The city itself is compact and colourful, brimming with palm trees, terracotta rooftops and historic charm. Caf\u00e9 terraces spill onto sunny squares, daily markets sell local produce, and narrow back streets welcome wanderers. A walk through the old town reveals everything from Moorish-influenced architecture to Belle \u00c9poque mansions.<\/p>\n<p>Perpignan is vibrant without being chaotic, and relaxed without being two-dimensional. But what really sets it apart is how easy it is to get out and explore \u2014 within 30 to 60 minutes, you can be at the beach, in the hills, or sipping wine in a peaceful valley.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-46121 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1060\" height=\"707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per2.jpg 1060w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per2-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1060px) 100vw, 1060px\" \/>Perpignan<\/p>\n<h2>1. The coastal gem: Collioure<\/h2>\n<p>If you only make one trip from Perpignan, make it to Collioure. Just a 30-minute drive or train ride from the city, this small fishing town has bucket loads of atmosphere. Spend some time wandering through its colourful harbour and old stone lanes, then head to one of its delicious seafood restaurants for a plate of local anchovies and a glass of chilled ros\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>Collioure has long been a favourite destination for artists \u2014 Matisse and Derain were both fascinated by the light and painted some of their most interesting work here. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitcollioure.co.uk\/activities\/cultural-immersion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Don&#8217;t miss the walking trail through the town that explores some of their old haunts and viewpoints<\/a>. There\u2019s even an open-air gallery made up of reproduction paintings dotted through the streets.<\/p>\n<p>Collioure&#8217;s beach is small but perfectly formed, and a dip in the sea will revive you after a climb to the 17th-century <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visitcollioure.co.uk\/activities\/top-sites-monuments\/the-fort-saint-elme\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fort Saint-Elme<\/a>. The fort itself is worth a visit for the incredible views and its eccentric museum. If you\u2019re up for something more gruelling, the coastal path heading south towards Port-Vendres offers views over vineyards, pine forests and tiny coves that most visitors miss.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Something a bit special:<\/strong> Book a table at <a href=\"https:\/\/guide.michelin.com\/en\/occitanie\/collioure\/restaurant\/le-5eme-peche\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Le 5\u00e8me P\u00e9ch\u00e9<\/a> \u2014 a Michelin-recognised spot in Collioure that combines Japanese technique with regional Catalan ingredients.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-46123 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1060\" height=\"659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per3.jpg 1060w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per3-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per3-1024x637.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per3-768x477.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1060px) 100vw, 1060px\" \/>The Charm of Collioure!<\/p>\n<h2>2. The wine route: Agly Valley and the Roussillon countryside<\/h2>\n<p>Head north from Perpignan and you\u2019ll find yourself in the wide open landscape of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.agly-tourisme.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Agly Valley<\/a>. This is wine country, but without the polish and glamour of the kind you might expect in Bordeaux. Here, it\u2019s all rugged hills, old vines, and small-scale producers making punchy reds, crisp whites and an occasional ros\u00e9.<\/p>\n<p>The region is known for its Grenache and Carignan grapes, and many winemakers focus on organic or biodynamic wines. You can stop by family-run domaines for tastings, some of which welcome drop-ins (though it\u2019s worth calling ahead to make sure you get the most out of your visit). You\u2019ll often get to meet the winemakers themselves, who are more than happy to talk you through their process.<\/p>\n<p>The villages in this area are sleepy and traditional, with crumbling stone houses and shuttered windows. In places like Maury or Rasigu\u00e8res, you\u2019ll find rustic wine caves, small caf\u00e9s and an enticingly slow pace of life.<\/p>\n<p>While you\u2019re there, consider a visit to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catharcastles.info\/queribus.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cathar castle ruins at Qu\u00e9ribus<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peyrepertuse.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peyrepertuse<\/a> \u2014 both perched high in the hills with incredible views. These medieval fortresses offer steep but manageable climbs and you&#8217;ll feel like you&#8217;ve wandered onto a film set.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Something a bit special:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.domainedemajas.com\/form__map?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Domaine de Majas near Caudi\u00e8s-de-Fenouill\u00e8des<\/a> offers tasting appointments with a relaxed setting; this producer has a great backstory if you\u2019re into natural wine.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-46124 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1060\" height=\"707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per4.jpg 1060w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per4-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1060px) 100vw, 1060px\" \/>View of Casteil, France<\/p>\n<h2>3. The storybook village: Castelnou<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s a reason Castelnou is officially one of France\u2019s &#8216;Plus Beaux Villages.&#8217; Tucked into the foothills of the Alb\u00e8res mountains, it\u2019s just 30 minutes from Perpignan but feels like stepping into another century. It\u2019s a quiet, photogenic place to slow down, with cobbled lanes, terracotta roofs, and views that stretch out to the plains below.<\/p>\n<p>Visit the 10th-century castle (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourism-mediterraneanpyrenees.com\/chateau-de-castelnou\/castelnou\/pcular0660000016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ch\u00e2teau de Castelnou<\/a>) and stroll the narrow streets where artists and craft makers sell their work from tiny ateliers. There\u2019s not a huge amount to &#8220;do&#8221; here \u2014 but that\u2019s the charm. It\u2019s all about taking it slow, having a coffee in the square, and soaking up the calm.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll spot fig trees, old stone arches, and hand-painted tiles as you make your way through the lanes. Small galleries sell ceramics, textiles and paintings, many of them made right there. And every corner seems to come with its own photo opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been to Castelnou before or want to explore another tucked-away gem, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourism-canigo.com\/planning\/see-and-do\/most-beautiful-villages-france\/eus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eus<\/a> is a great option. Built into the hillside and full of quiet corners and quirky details, it\u2019s also listed among France\u2019s most beautiful villages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Something a bit special:<\/strong> Time your visit with Castelnou&#8217;s weekly market (usually Mondays) for fresh produce, local cheese and locally made honey.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-46125 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1060\" height=\"707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per5.jpg 1060w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.aerlingus.com\/hub\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/per5-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1060px) 100vw, 1060px\" \/>Windy streets in Castelnou<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xl-8 offset-xl-2\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2>Making it easy with Aer Lingus<\/h2>\n<p>The beauty of all of these trips is that they\u2019re really easy.
