モンフォール＝シュル＝ブールザンヌ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

かつてはるかに多くの住民がいた、とても美しい小さな村。

From Axat, it's a long climb, 18km. It's quite beautiful down in the gorges, then a few kilometers of fairly monotonous woods. Arriving on the plateau, it clears up but it's rural. The impressive view is worth it when you reach the pass. Going down there must be a blast, the tarmac is good, it's quite wide and there's little traffic. I went down via Escouloubre: the tarmac is bad, gravel, but the forest is enchanting! Why not go the other way, then, up via Escouloubre and down via Bousquet / Roquefort etc.?

Pass on the border between Aude and the Pyrénées Orientales

Beautiful village, worth a stop

Mosset is a village perched on a rocky spur at more than 600 m which dominates the Castellane Valley. In this superb village, everything bears the mark of time. Because Mosset was for a long time a border marker between France and Catalonia, hence its fortifications. The road offers a spectacular view when arriving from Prades. The city experienced economic and demographic development thanks to its immense forests which provided the energy necessary for processing iron ore from the Canigou peak. The population thus rose to 1,350 inhabitants in the middle of the 19th century. There are now only a little more than 300 left. The ramparts, towers and curtain walls of the old castle which still remain, the Capelleta, an old restored chapel, the small streets, the “portals” and even the fountains of The spring water bears witness to this historical past. We will also note the St Julien church, with this tree perched at the top of its bell tower, which seems to stand guard over the surroundings of the village.

Beautiful scenery, different conditions from both sides. Departure to Caudies a dream. More information: https://www.quaeldich.de/paesse/col-de-saint-louis/

The Rébenty gorges offer a magnificent stretch along the stream of the same name. The Rébenty has its source at the Col du Pradel before winding through a canyon which separates the Sault plateau in two.

“Col de Saint Louis” from Quillan: 14 kilometers long and covers 350 vertical meters with an average gradient of 2.9%. From Caudiès-de-Fenouillèdes: 6.2km and 5.6%. The top of the ascent is 698 meters above sea level. In the 2021 Tour, Bauke Mollema won stage 14 and was the first to climb this slope. I cycle this climb in the opposite direction, twice as long, but less difficult
