Start from Caudiès de Fenouillèdes: leave your car in the car park on the right at the entrance to the village (opposite the tourist office and the Vival grocery store).
(S) Follow the road that leads through the vineyards and fields, marked in yellow (postman’s path). This path is also a variant of the Cathar Trail (GR®367A), which takes you to Duilhac sous Peyrepertuse.
After a short climb, you’ll reach the forest path on the hillside. Follow it until you reach the D20.
(1) Stay on the D20 and leave it after one kilometre to rejoin the path to Prugnanes.
(2) At the entrance to the village, turn left at the corner of the Lodge chez Benjamin, and continue along the track until you reach a descending hairpin bend; be sure to take a narrow path on your left that disappears into the vegetation. You will reach a crossroads of paths at the Col de Lenti.
(3) Head straight ahead and descend the path, which has steps made from logs.
You’ll arrive in the Agly valley, on a tarmac road amidst the vineyards. At the junction, turn left and head back up to the dam on the river at the exit of the Galamus Gorges. This spot at La Tirounère is magnificent.
(4) After the footbridge, head slightly to the left, climbing up the slope. Reach the road, the D7.
Turn right onto it and follow it to the reservoir and car park.
(5) Take the path on your left (just before the wide track that branches off from the bend); this is theGRP® Tour des Fenouillèdes, marked in red and yellow.
The climb is long and steep.
(6) Continue straight ahead on theGR®367(Cathar Trail), ignoring the paths to the right and left.
(7) Pass close to the Roc de Fourcat (stele) before reaching the crossroads at Pla de Brezou, where you’ll find theGR®36as well as theGR®367.
(8) Take it straight ahead and, after a circular route, you’ll reach another junction before the Col de Laprès.
(9) Turn left, leaving theGR® trails here, and head west on a long, almost level stretch. You will reach another crossroads of paths.
(10) Turn left, running parallel to the hamlet of Bac de Merlano, go round the sheepfold and rejoin the GR367.
(11) Turn right and begin a steep descent to reach the D10 at the Moulin de Cubières.
(12) Turn right onto the road to reach the campsite. (E)
