ヴィルリュング・デル・モンのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

It is possible to do it with a mountain bike or gravel bike starting either from Villeneuve or from Montesquieu or from Boulou

Very nice village

How friendly! No one is showing off or trying to be adventurous. For people with a fear of heights, this bridge is a problem if it comes unexpectedly on the planned route. That's all I wrote ;)

The bridge is not high at all! Moreover it does not even tilt... do not say anything to be adventurous!

The priory of Santa Maria del Vilar is quite hidden at the end of a road in the forest and belongs to the municipality of Villelongue-dels-Monts. Originally there was an Augustinian monastery with a church here, but it was abandoned in the 16th century. The complex then fell into disrepair and was only restored at the beginning of the 21st century on private initiative. Today, this masterpiece of Romanesque architecture is inhabited by a community of Romanian Orthodox nuns. A guided tour, including a small museum, is also possible at limited times.

It was built by the Lords of Saint Cristau, who later took the name of Montesquieu. The keep forms an imposing building with a width of 16 metres and a length of 22 metres. The castle was protected by a wall 12 m high. From the top you have a great view of the plains of the region.

Nice and shaded hike on 2/3 from a departure of the pass perfect for a family outing. The point of view is splendid canigou on one side, sea on the other. The rocky and alpine summit contrasts with the more forested approach.

You should climb up and enjoy the view. The bike path only shows the tower from below, nothing else.
