The Pla de Brézou
Departure from Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet (Pyrénées-Orientales)
Very nice circuit that will take you over grazing areas that are still used.
The last part of the circuit overhangs the gorges of Galamus.
To the foot of the Château de Quéribus from Cucugnan
Departure from Cucugnan (Aude)
From the village, a climb to the foot of the Château de Quéribus on well-marked paths.
See: practical information.
The descent is quite steep, after waypoint (5).
It's quite possible to do this circuit the other way round, and climb from waypoint (6) to (5).
The Tautavel Tower
Departure from Cases-de-Pène (Pyrénées-Orientales)
This is an alternative way to the Tour de Tautavel from Cases-de-Pène. Advantage: sheltered from the tramontana wind. Disadvantage: sunny in summer.
Montferrer castle
Departure from Montferrer (Pyrénées-Orientales)
This walk takes about an hour and a half to two hours including time to explore the castle. The way up is fairly steep but should be fine for people who are moderately fit.
Tour of Lake Cavayère near Carcassonne
Departure from Carcassonne (Aude)
Lake Cavayère is the place to visit in Carcassonne when the sun is out. The path around the lake is laid out clearly and is very easy to follow even with children (over ten years). The ever present lake provides a very pleasant setting.
The Two Fountains circuit
Departure from Laroque-des-Albères (Pyrénées-Orientales)
Hike to discover the fountains of Laroque-des-Albères: the Font dels Simiots and amazing animals which, according to legend, kidnapped babies and came to settle near the fountain after being dislodged from Arles-sur-Tech; the Font de la Vernosa, a well-preserved, beautiful fountain from where one has a magnificent view of the plain of Roussillon.
