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

The linguistic proximity of the "Pont Eiffel", which spans the valley here, and the low mountain range "Eifel" in the far west of Germany is no coincidence: The family of the designer - whose world-famous Tower of Paris (named after its builder) is probably known to everyone - has German roots. The ancestors of the Eiffel Tower builder Gustave EIFFEL come from the Eifel town of Marmagen (in the Euskirchen district, North Rhine-Westphalia). The village square there - if you are interested, see the following hiking highlight https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/1830307 - is named after him.

The Tech River rises in the Canigou massif in the Pyrénées-Orientales, France, at an altitude of around 2,500 metres. It runs for approximately 84 km through the Vallespir and Roussillon, passing through towns such as Prats-de-Mollo, Céret and Le Boulou, before flowing into the Mediterranean Sea near Argelès-sur-Mer. The Tech is a Mediterranean river, with irregular flows that depend on seasonal rainfall and snowmelt. It is essential for agricultural irrigation and the ecosystem of the region.

It spans the Tech River and has become a symbol of both the city and medieval engineering. It was built in the early 14th century, between 1321 and 1341, and is one of the finest examples of medieval architecture in the region. In its time, it was considered a masterpiece of engineering.

Throughout its history, Fort de Bellegarde was the scene of numerous conflicts and battles, including the wars between France and Spain, as well as the Napoleonic Wars. However, over time and with changes in political and military circumstances, its strategic importance diminished. Today, Fort de Bellegarde is a historic and tourist site. Visitors can explore its imposing walls, towers and passageways, and learn about its fascinating history through exhibits and guided tours. The fortress offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape and remains a tangible reminder of the importance of border defence in European history.

@Marcus. It's very sad that you resort to editing and cropping photos that were not taken by you and pretending that you had been there in order to get points and become the leader of a region (Ceret).

The refuge is surrounded by lush nature, with beech and oak forests, and is an excellent place to observe the local fauna and flora. It is also a strategic point for those who wish to explore the biodiversity and natural heritage of the Albera mountain range.
