Tourism and leisure activities

Between the sea and the mountains, Perpignan has an ideal geographical location!

Rich in culture and history, Perpignan has been awarded the "Ville d'Art et d'Histoire" (City of Art and History) label and has a wide range of tourist and cultural activities. The sports offer is also important and diversified.

In France, the majority of cultural and sports venues offer reduced "student" rates, so don't forget to ask for them and show your student card.


Good plans :

  • The Culture Pass: on sale at the official UPVD shop, it allows you to benefit from numerous discounts.
  • Free cultural workshops are offered to UPVD students.
  • Thanks to the SUAPS you can practice a sport at a very reduced price!
