Description
Good morning. I am Sylvie and I am a photographer. 6 years ago, I returned to France from the US where I worked for many years.
I just bought a new house in the city of Perpignan in Catalane, 25 km from Spain. The city is well know for it's history from the 13 century when the King of Marjorque built his Pallace .
The city is proud of it's Catalane roots, that remain a big influence in the région.
A city between the Méditerranée and the Pyrénées mountain withhe typical little street full of restaurant terasse give it it's charm.
The city that Salvator Dali had offically renamed : El Centro Del Mon : In Catalan: The center of the world.
