- From the Argelès-sur-Mer SNCF train station, climb up to the Tour de la Massane via marked trails and paths.
- The hike can start from Valmy Castle near (3). See practical information.
I recommend reading the practical information section regarding the different routes.
The hike could be classified as difficult due to some very rough sections of the trail and the need for good navigation skills.

A wild, rocky coastline, small forgotten coves, terraced vineyards that seem to hang above the waves: this is what you can expect on this hike, dotted with maritime pines and prickly pears. Along the way, the beautifully restored, history-steeped site of Paulilles and various beaches inviting you to take a dip add to the pleasure of this walk in the soft light of the Côte Vermeille.
