To Spain …
Casa9 Hotel is just 15 minutes’ drive from the centre of Perpignan, the capital of French Catalonia which has more than 100,000 inhabitants.
Dating back to 927, Perpignan still has an old city with charming quarters, home to many restaurants and shops full of “curiosities”.
Perpignan offers everything you would expect from a modern city, whether you want to shop or just take in the culture and atmosphere (2011 saw the opening of the new Theatre d’Archipel, designed by Jean Nouvel).
With enormous influence from the Gothic period, Perpignan has a wealth of monuments to see. The main sites worth visiting are la Cathédrale Saint Jean and two convents, le Couvent des Dominicains et le Couvent des Carmes.
