Message from the Mayor of Perpignan |
|
Perpignan is the last major town in Languedoc before the Spanish border. It’s easy to see why the flavour of Perpignan is essentially Catalan. There’s a real mix of cultures in this corner of the region: Catalan, Romany and North African all co-exist in this sunny city of palm-lined squares. For the visitor, it’s useful to know that this is not only one of the best places in the region to sample local food and wine but also a city with a relatively busy airport that has several handy air connections overseas. However, it does lack buzz – Barcelona is too close and too big a rival for little Perpignan to hit the big time. It’s also worth noting that over recent years Perpignan has become a stronghold for Jean-Marie Le Pen’s rightwing Front National Party who claim the city’s original white inhabitants have been overrun by foreigners.

Perpignan Description |
|
Perpignan is a commune and the préfecture (administrative capital city) of the Pyrénées-Orientales département in southern France. Perpignan was the capital of the former province and county of Roussillon (French Catalonia or Northern Catalonia). It is also capital of the historical Catalonian comarca of Rosselló. 
Perpignan France
Population (1999): 105,115Â in the city proper; 249,016 total in the metropolitan area.
Though settlement in the area goes back to Roman times, the medieval town of Perpignan seems to have been founded around the beginning of the 10th century (first mentioned in a document as villa Perpiniarum in 927). Soon Perpignan became the capital of the counts of Roussillon. In 1172 Count Girard II bequeathed his lands to the Counts of Barcelona. Perpignan acquired the institutions of a partly self-governing commune in 1197. French feudal rights over Rousillon were given up by Louis IX in the Treaty of Corbeil (1258).
Eva Green-French Actress
In 2003, Eva Green made her feature film debut in Bernardo Bertolucci's film The Dreamers with Michael Pitt and Louis Garrel. She played the role of Isabelle and in addition to acting, also composed the score for the film. While filming The Dreamers, Green was said to have found Bertolucci manipulative, though in a creative way that wasn't pushy. In comparison to her previous stage acting, she has said that acting in front of the camera makes you its "plaything".
 Eva Green played Countess Clarisse de Dreux-Sobise in the 2004 French film, Arsène Lupin, directed by Jean-Paul Salomé and starring Romain Duris and Kristin Scott Thomas. The film received mixed reviews. In 2005, she portrayed Sibylla of Jerusalem in Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven, starring opposite Orlando Bloom as Balian, a blacksmith from Middle-Age France.
 Eva Green speaks both French and English fluently and currently shares her time between her residences in Paris and London. Eva has a twin sister named Joy. Green has said she's not particularly close to her sister, who attended business school and has just married an Italian count. She's currently dating Marton Csokas. They met while shooting Kingdom of Heaven, in which he played her character's husband. She previously dated French actor Yann Claassen for over four years.
 Eva Green met the director of The Constant Gardener but couldn't take the part of Tessa Quale due to a clash with Kingdom of Heaven, she was also interested in a part in Brian DePalma's The Black Dahlia but again it clashed with Kingdom of Heaven, though in the event filming was postponed.
