At the heart of the Castillet, a flame burns continuously throughout the year, symbolising hope and light. Every year, on 23 June, the eve of Midsummer's Day, this flame embarks on an extraordinary journey to Canigou, the sacred mountain of the Catalans.
There, on the majestic heights, faggots wait patiently, gathered together by a jubilant people. It's the arrival of summer! The summit of Canigou bursts into flames, transforming this small flame into a huge blaze. The flames then travel down the mountain, scattering across the département like glittering comets.
This memorable night will be an opportunity for Perpignan's residents and visitors alike to celebrate tradition, unity and the joy of summer together, in a setting illuminated by the eternal flame of the Castillet.
Detailed programme coming soon.
