Anywhere Campers PerpignanPerpignanView map
Hiring a campervan in Perpignan puts you at the heart of Roussillon, French Catalonia, between a plain covered with orchards and vineyards, the Mediterranean and the outline of the Canigou. In about an hour you reach the coves of Collioure, the Cathar citadels of the Corbières or Vauban's fortresses in the Conflent, and Spain begins just beyond the Col du Perthus pass. Our partner company Anywhere Campers offers motorhomes, campervans and converted vans there.
Before setting off, climb up to the Palace of the Kings of Majorca, walk under the Castillet, the city's former gateway in pink brick, and taste Catalan specialities on the shady squares of the centre.

South of Perpignan, the beach at Argelès marks the end of the sand: rocky coves take over.

The way back via Céret, with its cherry trees and modern art museum, crosses the hills of the Aspres.

Weather and seasons
When to go à Perpignan?
Best time
April to June, September and October
April to June, September to October
highs 19 to 28 °C, lows 10 to 19 °C
The best time to leave from Perpignan: ten to thirteen hours of sunshine a day, Conflent passes clear from May and quiet beaches. September is ideal for the Vermilion Coast, with the grape harvest in the Banyuls vineyards. October stays mild but becomes the wettest month: Mediterranean storm episodes can bring violent thunderstorms.
High season
July and August
July to August
highs 30 to 31 °C, lows 21 °C
Two hot, almost dry months, with only a dozen millimetres of rain. The coast, from Argelès to Le Barcarès, then welcomes crowds of holidaymakers and campsites are full. Coolness is found at altitude: in the Cerdanya and the Capcir, nights remain pleasant while the Roussillon plain swelters.
Winter
November to March
November to March
highs 13 to 16 °C, lows 5 to 9 °C
A mild, bright winter on the coast, with seven to nine hours of sunshine a day, but often swept by the tramontane wind. While almond trees blossom on the plain from February, snow covers the Canigou and the Cerdanya ski resorts. A heated vehicle and campsites open all year let you enjoy a deserted Vermilion Coast.

Practical tips
Everything to know before hitting the road
Meeting Anywhere Campers
Anywhere Campers is the only partner company based in Perpignan: the exact handover location and the time of the appointment are given in your confirmation. Allow time for the vehicle inspection, then do your shopping before leaving the urban area, as the villages of the Vermilion Coast and the Corbières only have small grocery shops.
Driving in the tramontane
This north-westerly wind blows hard and in gusts across Roussillon, especially in winter and spring. A tall motorhome catches a lot of it: slow down on the A9 motorway and on cliff roads, retract the awning as soon as it rises and hold the doors firmly when opening them.
Toll motorways on both sides
The A9, which bypasses Perpignan, is tolled towards Narbonne and Montpellier as well as towards the Le Perthus border crossing. On the Spanish side, the AP-7 is no longer tolled as far as Tarragona. For the Vermilion Coast, the Cerdanya or the Corbières, free national and departmental roads are enough, with tight bends that call for caution.
Sleeping by the Mediterranean
Argelès-sur-Mer, Canet-en-Roussillon, Saint-Cyprien and Le Barcarès have some of the highest concentrations of campsites in France, and most resorts have a motorhome area. However, overnight parking along the beaches is often banned by municipal order, and motorhome parking is very restricted in Collioure during the season.
What travellers ask
Your questions about a road trip à Perpignan
Where can I pick up a campervan in Perpignan?
Our partner company Anywhere Campers hands over the vehicle in Perpignan itself; the precise address and the time of the appointment are given in your booking confirmation. If you arrive by train or plane, let the company know your arrival time so the key handover can be arranged without waiting.
How much does it cost to hire a campervan in Perpignan?
The price varies with the season, the length of the trip and the chosen model: July and August, when the Catalan coast fills up, are the most requested months. Run a search with your dates to compare the offers available from Perpignan, mandatory fees included, then book at the displayed price.
Can I drive to Spain with a campervan hired in Perpignan?
The Col du Perthus and La Jonquera are only half an hour away, and Figueres, with the Dalí Theatre-Museum, then Girona and Cadaqués follow close behind. Before crossing the border, check in the offer conditions that Spain is among the countries covered by the insurance and whether an extra fee applies.
Can I return the campervan in Béziers, Montpellier or Toulouse?
Yes, these cities, like Argens-Minervois, Nîmes and Avignon, are also departure cities of our partners. A one-way trip lets you travel up Languedoc along the Canal du Midi or finish in Provence without retracing your steps. Enter the return city when searching: any one-way fees are then included.
Which models are available from Perpignan?
The offers observed range from the Van for 2, for a couple, to the Sunlight A70 with an over-cab bed and six berths, via the Carado T-447 low-profile for four, the Sunlight T 68 and the five-seat Adria Matrix models, most with a manual or automatic gearbox. On the cliff roads of the Vermilion Coast, a compact model makes manoeuvring easier.
What is there to see in Perpignan before hitting the road?
The Palace of the Kings of Majorca, a 13th-century fortress overlooking the city, the Castillet, the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist and the Campo Santo cloister are the highlights. At the end of August and in September, the international photojournalism festival Visa pour l'Image takes over the monuments of the historic centre, free of charge.

The two service providers made me pay for the insurance for the car. And when I request a refund for one of them, I no longer get a response. I will travel by motorhome again, but certainly not with CoolDrive, nor with my friends.

First rental of this type of vehicle in a professional context where the rental must take place from France to Canada. Many questions and Cooldrive (Marlène) has been a valuable support in guiding my choices. Efficiency and responsiveness beforehand, and on-site a vehicle and service that met our expectations. No complaints. Great!

Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Campervan and motorhome hire in Perpignan
What licence do I need to drive a motorhome in France?
A category B licence allows you to drive motorhomes, campervans and converted vans up to 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight. Drivers with a licence issued outside the European Union may need to show an international driving permit or an official translation. The minimum age and number of years of driving required are stated in the conditions of each offer.
Where can I stay overnight with a motorhome in the Pyrénées-Orientales?
Out of season, many coastal campsites close from autumn to spring: find out in advance which ones stay open. Inland, many villages in the Conflent, the Aspres and the Corbières have a motorhome area, and wine estates in Banyuls or Maury welcome travellers for a night. In the Cerdanya, expect cool nights, even in summer.
How do I get to Perpignan by train or plane?
Perpignan station, a few minutes from the centre, has direct TGV high-speed trains from Paris as well as trains to Barcelona. Perpignan-Rivesaltes airport, north of the city, serves a limited number of destinations; for more international connections, the airports of Girona, Barcelona, Montpellier or Toulouse are a few hours' drive away.
Do I need winter tyres for the Cerdanya and the Capcir?
From 1 November to 31 March, the mountain municipalities of the Pyrénées-Orientales designated by prefectoral order require winter tyres or snow chains on board, which notably covers the Cerdanya and the Capcir. Check the rules in force and confirm the vehicle's equipment with the rental company before driving up to Mont-Louis or Font-Romeu.
When should I book a campervan in Perpignan?
For July and August, several months in advance: with a single partner depot, the number of available vehicles is limited, and the coastal campsites are packed. For spring, September or a sunny winter break, a few weeks are often enough, but booking early guarantees the model and gearbox you want.
About us
Why start your motorhome trip in Perpignan
Within a radius of about a hundred kilometres, Perpignan brings together landscapes that usually take weeks to link: sandy beaches, coves and terraced vineyards on the Vermilion Coast, scrubland and perched castles in the Corbières, the valleys of the Conflent and the high plateaus of the Cerdanya overlooked by the Canigou. Catalan culture, present in the language, the food and the festivals, gives the trip a character of its own in France.
With Anywhere Campers as partner company, vehicles ranging from vans for two to family motorhomes, and a pleasant climate from April to October, the city suits short breaks as well as long tours. Nearby Spain invites you to carry on to Figueres and the Costa Brava, while Béziers, Montpellier or Toulouse, other departure cities of our partners, let you end the trip one way.
