Description of the walk

Park in the car park opposite the Church of Saint-Fructueux, a listed historic monument.

(S/E) From the car park, head south along the Carretera del Segre towards Les Bains. A little further on, you’ll come across theGR®®36markings for a short while before leaving the path at the junction with the Cami de Vedrignans.

(1) Turn straight ahead, following the yellow markings, and stay on this forest track which runs alongside the Segre, until you reach the junction at the Pont des Oubliés.

(2) Turn 180° to the left to take the path that climbs towards Mas Patiràs. At the junction with this path, turn left to follow the signposted trail. You will reach a junction at the foot of the Sant Feliu Chapel.

(3) Continue to the left to reach the chapel and enjoy the exceptional views.

(4) Retrace your steps back to the previous junction.

(3) Turn left, beginning a fairly steep descent towards Llo. Cross the Rec del Pastoret and follow Carrer del Castell straight on to rejoin the red and white markings ofthe GR®®36, shared with theGRP®® Tour de Cerdagne.

(5) Follow it to the left as far as the Church of Saint-Fructueux.

(6) Leave the markings behind and continue along the D33 road to reach the car park on the left (S/E).

I loved this little hike. First you follow the stream, then you pass through meadows with cows and bulls. Beautiful views, beautiful rocks. The spectacle provided by two mountaineers on the beautiful orange-beige peak. The magnificent view from the ruins of the church, where you can clearly see the fault line
The descent over the rocks can be avoided, as mentioned below, by taking a path on the side. Be sure to return to the rocky path and do not continue into the forest as we did, as it is quite challenging to find the path again further down...

A very beautiful, pleasant, shaded, easy hike with magnificent views. Yes, the path downhill is rocky, but you can take the trail on the side. We didn't find the Pont des Oubliés (Bridge of the Forgotten) and followed the forest trail for at least 2 km, which runs alongside the river. It was the right way. We will definitely do this hike again.

An easy hike to do early in the morning or later in the day. Signs explain the Sègre fault and the formation of the Pyrenees, which is great. When you reach the top near the old chapel (don't hesitate to make the round trip), the view is magnificent, with a 360° panorama and one of the most beautiful views of the Cerdagne. The descent to Llo requires walking sticks, as it is steep and rocky.

Thank you for this hiking suggestion, which I really enjoyed. These little gorges are well worth a visit. I didn't come across any Patou dogs, but let's be careful the climb up to the chapel is quite steep, and be careful at the top with young children, especially at the end of the via ferrata where the red sign at the end of the route draws your attention downwards. The descent to the village is indeed quite rocky, so watch out for rolling stones and make sure you have good footwear for stability. I highly recommend this beautiful walk!

Hike offering magnificent views, especially if you take the short detour to the ruined chapel. The descent is a little technical and requires good footwear.

The route is followed in the direction indicated, which leads to the final descent, considered a bit difficult due to small stones. However, there is nothing prohibitive, as the slope is not steep. In addition, there is a small single track parallel to the trail that is easier to follow. At worst, you can do the circuit by climbing the stony slope... don't miss the climb to the ruined chapel, the view is magical!

A beautiful hike that begins by following the Segre River on a gently sloping paved path. Then, at point 2, the path becomes a dirt road until it intersects with the climb up to the chapel. FROM the chapel, the descent is via a steep, rocky path until you reach llo, which is not very pleasant, so good shoes are essential.

⚑Departure from Llo (Pyrénées-Orientales)
Apart from an interest in a play on words, we found no trace of the feline along this pretty route, which quickly rises above the village of Llo and allows you to visit Sant Féliu in its chapel. The view over Cerdanya is breathtaking and remains so all the way to the Pla plateau. A forest track on a balcony ensures the return to Port de Llo, from where it is easy to reach the narrow streets of the old village.
