Circular trail of the Couleurs de Rennes-le-Château starting from Espéraza
Path of lights and colours: the white of the limestone cliffs, the blood red of the earth, the green of the meadows and trees, the blue of the sky and mountains, the scent of pine trees and the winds that carry our dreams far away as we admire the exceptional panoramas.
Path of the mysteries of Abbé Saunière and his confessor of Espéraza: walk in their footsteps to the heart of their history and their landscapes.

Saint-Jaume Gorges and Fenouillet Fortresses
When the valley was unsafe, the men would retreat to the heights. The hills surrounding the Boulzane and Agly valleys are dotted with prestigious strongholds (Puylaurens, Fenouillet, Quéribus, etc.). And getting there was no easy task, as the Gorges de Saint-Jaume demonstrate.
The Pech de Bugarach via the shortest route
It's not the most interesting route in the massif, but it's the shortest way to quickly reach the summit of the famous site that became legendary in 2012, the Pech de Bugarach, the mysterious highest point of the Corbières massif, a foothill of the Pyrenees and a landmark for griffon vultures, which you're sure to spot.

The Roc Paradet from Prugnanes
A hike from a pretty little village on the Sentier Cathare GR®367, the GR®36, and the GRP® Tour des Fenouillèdes.A sense of direction is required. The reward comes at the summit, with its 360° panorama.On the way back, a visit to a large and beautiful cave is very interesting.
Tour of Donezan
This hike is best done at the end of October. If the weather is favourable, the "French Quebec" will dazzle you with its autumn colours. But there's nothing to stop you coming back in spring or summer. There are some beautiful views of the plateau and its villages: Rouze, Mijanes, Artigues, Le Pla, Le Puch, Quérigut and the peaks overlooking Donezan. The first half of the route follows the Vauban trail.

Valmigère loop
Loop around Valmigère in the undergrowth, then up to the heights with a beautiful panorama of the Pyrenees and the Pic de Bugarach. The loop is marked with a descriptive sign in front of the town hall and marked in yellow. It is described in an anti-clockwise direction, but I recommend doing it clockwise, as the slopes are gentler on the way up (I did the loop in this direction). The signs indicate a time of 3 hours, which should be taken into account with breaks, as it is not difficult.
Roc Blanc via the Étang de Laurenti
This climb in the sunny Pyrenees is a real classic, which means it can get quite busy in good weather. However, the magnificent Étang de Laurenti and the 360° view from the summit of Roc Blanc are well worth the effort required during the hike.
