The Perpignan real estate market
With its mix of French and Spanish cultures, its historic center and its proximity to the Mediterranean, Perpignan is one of the most sought-after cities in the Pyrénées-Orientales.
The region is home to exceptional places such as the village of Thuir, a mecca for the art of living with unrivalled cosmopolitanism and bourgeois dynamism. With its historic monuments, authentic town center, colorful facades, cultural and community life and numerous local events, Thuir has preserved its Catalan heritage and identity.
The region boasts many hidden gems, such as the village of Torreil, whose reputation is rapidly growing among customers seeking tranquillity and a high quality of life. This rare gem, just five minutes from the sea, offers an idyllic living environment. And last but not least, Collioure, a commune prized for its picturesque charm and verdant landscapes.
Perpignan: history and heritage
The Pyrénées-Orientales region boasts a remarkable wealth of heritage, the value of which Terres d'Oc advisors are well aware. Once part of Catalonia, this département has preserved an architecture marked by Spanish influences, with majestic buildings that bear witness to its rich past.
The region's distinctive twilight inspired painters of the time, and was the source of the emergence of Fauvism. In the heart of the Pyrénées-Orientales region, the town of Collioure proved to be the birthplace of this pictorial movement, initiated by the creative effervescence of the many artists who settled here.
L'histoire économique de la région est marquée par le développement du vin Muscat, notamment dans la commune de Rivesaltes, qui a contribué à créer de grandes fortunes. Ce secteur a progressivement évolué avec une montée en gamme des vins du Languedoc-Roussillon, aujourd'hui très présents sur les tables gastronomiques les plus réputées de France. Il est d’ailleurs de rigueur de recommander le Domaine Riberach, situé sur les coteaux de Perpignan, qui abrite un restaurant étoilé niché dans une ancienne cave viticole. Cette adresse prestigieuse combine harmonieusement une table de renom ainsi qu'un hôtel de charme, faisant ainsi partie des lieux incontournables de la région.
L’agence Terres d'Oc Sotheby's International Realty est fière de combiner son expertise et sa parfaite connaissance du marché local pour proposer à ses clients des propriétés d'exception.
