Beautiful rocky outcrops along the Aude

Stunning

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.?

My experience on this stretch was downhill, once I reached the top of the Col des Aychides. It is a narrow road with uneven asphalt, where you have to be careful, although I have to admit that I found it beautiful and very fun. Although there is a considerable precipice on the left, I was not scared at any time. You go through a couple of small tunnels dug into the mountain, which gives it a lot of charm. It is a beautiful stretch.
