Previously, the city was mainly known for its strategic location on the Franco-Spanish border and its famous duty-free shopping zone. It was a popular destination for tourists looking to make duty-free purchases, especially on products such as alcohol, tobacco and perfumes.

However, in more recent years, the situation has changed significantly. With the coming into force of European laws that have reduced the tax advantages of duty-free border zones, the economy of Le Perthus has experienced a decline. Many of the stores that previously attracted shoppers have closed, and the city has had to adapt to a new economic reality.

Today, Le Perthus remains an important crossing point between France and Spain, but its importance as a commercial destination has diminished. The city now focuses more on tourism, taking advantage of its picturesque location in the foothills of the Pyrenees and its proximity to tourist hotspots such as Spain's Costa Brava and the city of Perpignan in France.
