Perpignan airport is 5km (3miles) north, northwest of Perpignan.

This should take you about another ten minutes once you've exited the motorway at Junction 41.

It is a very small airport, but not as small as somewhere like Avignon airport.

It has two runways, one of 2500m and one of 1260m and can handle up to 700,000 passengers per year.

From Perpignan a daily high-speed rail service is available to Paris Gare de Lyon station.

The Perpignan airport arrivals hall is quite small but easy to navigate. When you disembark the plane you will make your way through passport control, baggage reclaim and in to the arrivals area of the main terminal building.

If you've got someone to meet you then it shouldn't be difficult to spot them as this end of the terminal building is so small. In the summer a lot of people wait outside the terminal building in the sun.

Like other local airports in the Languedoc, Perpignan offers little in the way of shops and restaurants.

On the ground floor of the terminal building there is a small gift shop/tabac offering a limited selection of local wines and regional gifts. You can also get newspapers, magazines, sweets for your journey and even books about the region in English.

In addition to the gift shop, there is the ever present French bar always ready to serve you a cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate.

Or of course, if you fancy something a little stronger, why not have a glass of wine or a beer? They’ll even do you a baguette sandwich, croissant or croquet monsieur.

If you’ve checked in early and want to relax a little, there is a restaurant on the first floor where you can have a full three course meal, with a glass of wine to wash it all down.
