A pleasant alternative to walking on the road

A beautiful fountain in the Square Bir Hakeim in Perpignan. The source of peace.

My husband, our dog Bronco and I had a great time in this small park in Perpignan. It's worth a visit! Considered the green lung of the city, this 3-hectare park has been renovated with the aim of restoring an important ecological heritage. Laid out on the former ditches of the city walls, the square has been a green institution for two centuries. Recently, the 3-hectare park, considered the green lung of the city, has been renovated with the aim of restoring an important ecological heritage.

Admire a Gingko Biloba with a circumference of 3.80 m and a height of 30 m, as well as two centenary Washingtonia Filifera palms measuring 18 m!
