サンジャンラッサイル周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

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

The small lake of Saint-Jean-Pla-de-Corts is a great place for MTB and e-bike riders looking for a scenic and peaceful route. The proximity to the Pyrinexus and EV8 offers a wide variety of routes, from relaxed routes to challenging mountain trails, all in a natural setting perfect for taking a break by the water and enjoying nature.

EuroVelo 8 (EV8): Also known as the Mediterranean Route, the EV8 passes very close to Saint-Jean-Pla-de-Corts. It is ideal for cyclists who prefer longer, more connected routes, as this route runs along the entire European Mediterranean coast. The section in this area is relatively flat, making it suitable for any level.

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.

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.

The Pave Mill is an old grain mill supplied with water from the village canal. The Pave Mill's activity lasted until the end of the 19th century. It was inhabited until 1942 and then fell into disrepair. It became municipal property and was restored in 2006 by the Laroque Heritage Association in collaboration with the municipality. The volunteers of this association installed a roof to strengthen and “waterproof” the building. The miller's workshop (on the ground floor) and his accommodation (on the upper floor) are currently being completely restored. The association is actively looking for a millstone that could help complete the work.

Shaded and quiet picnic area at the small lake of St Jean Pla de Corts on the Pyrinexus Véloroute. (2Km from Boulou 66 if you are on the EV8.)

In the snow very difficult to find the way but at the top a wonderful view
