Invest in Perpignan

ANSAmed reports: Perpignan is brushing off its image as the friendly capital of the Pyrénées-Orientales and remodeling itself as a hotbed for investment and tourism. Its new trademark, which will also apply to the surrounding villages and towns who, along with Perpignan have extended into a community agglomerate, is "naturally competitive". Or in other words, a good place to do business. High speed train links are the first area to come under the marketing spotlight. Last month Spain inaugurated a new super-speed train-line between Barcelona and Figueres, a large town close to the French border, which has been connected to Perpignan via high speed train links (TGV) since 2010. As a result there are currently two trains a day to Perpignan, making it possible to hop from Gaudi to the Pyrénées in one 80 minute swoop. "The arrival of the TGV amounts to a leap in quality" - said Jean-Paul Auldy, President of the community agglomeration of Perpignan.
