Abbaye Sainte-Marie de Fontfroide (Narbonne) walks

A loop from the magnificent Abbaye de Fontfroide in the massif of the same name. There are 360° views of the Corbières, the Pyrenees and the Aude coastline. With no major difficulties, the route only takes in the DFCI paths of this highly protected massif.

You'll discover part of the Massif de Fontfroide between the Domaine de Jonquières and the Abbaye de Fontfroide (visit possible), thanks to the many DFCI trails closed to motor vehicle traffic. The demanding section of the Combe d'Enfer should be walked with care, or even avoided after rain. An alternative route, described in the practical information section, allows you to bypass this tricky section.

A circular route, not too difficult, starting from Fontfroide Abbey offering lovely views. The route is varied as it follows paths that are sometimes stony, tracks, and also a section of the Via Domitia. All in all, a short hike that is a bit of a workout in places but remains enjoyable.
