Car hire Perpignan Station

Travelers visiting Perpignan can enter the city through the Aeroport de Perpignan-Rivesaltes, which serves international and regional flights. Those who are coming in from Paris and Barcelona, however, can take the longer and more scenic route to Perpignan, taking the TGV or IdTGV that goes through the Perpignan Rail Station. From there, they can arrange for a cheap car hire in Perpignan through any of the major cheap car hire providers in the area.

While Perpignan is part of France, visiting this town feels like experiencing a part of Spain. Catalan influences in culture and traditions are prevalent in every part of this interesting town. The city is also a known summer destination in France. Tourists can take their car rental for a six-mile drive to the beach or they can also head for the Basse River where they can enjoy night time concerts along with an endless supply of tapas and beer.

Perpignan also features a number of interesting attractions including the Castillet, a 14th century brick building that once served as a fortress and gateway. It now features a museum where travelers can view expansive exhibitions of cultural artifacts. From there, they can take an uphill walk on the vielle ville leading them to a 15th century Spanish citadel that holds the circa 13th century Palais des Rois de Majorque. A climb up one of the palace's towers promises a magnificent view of the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean Sea.

Arranging for a cheap car hire in Perpignan is highly recommended because there are a number of nearby destinations that travelers can visit the seaside town of Canet-plage that features some of the finest beaches near the city.
