Carcassonne airport to Perpignan. and rough price guide.

Hello everyone. I would like to ask you, what is the best way to get from Carcassonne Airport to the railway station at Perpignan, as my hotel is close to the station.

i arrive around 9am at the airport. on March 13th.

The other question i have is this, i will be travelling with a girlfriend. We will have to eat out for the seven nights we are in Perpignan.

Can any one give me a rough guide to prices, for some basic meals, we don%26#39;t want to eat at expensive places.

also any information on prices of say a large beer, as this is most important.. to me anyway.

Any replies will be welcomed.

Have a great new year everyone. Cheers

See post below on transfer to Canet Plage!

Take a taxi or bus from the airport into Carcassonne then a train to Perpignan. There are no buses, so if you don%26#39;t want to hire a car or pay ££££ for a taxi transfer, that is your only sensible option.

If I recall correctly from last year, a beer in and around Perpignan was around €2.50 for a miserable 25cl (half a pint almost) glass and many bars don%26#39;t have larger glasses. Some friends recently arrived from France confirm that beer prices in the country are positively ruinous, especially now with the £ worth only about €1.27.

Other than that sorry note, there are plenty of inexpensive places to eat in town especially near the railway station. Cannot recall names at the moment, sorry.

Hi Amsterdam. Just to let you know, the shuttle bus (Navette) runs from Carcassone Airport within 20 minutes of each flight arrival and will take you to the station. I think the train to Perpignan goes via Narbonne (where you have to change trains).

Re. food - Good pizza restaurant on bridge at Place Arago, also Napoli restaurant on Place Catalogne (other end of town near FNAC). Also loads of reasonable places up in the old town.

Have a great time.
