アゲルの峡谷・トップ6

Several walking options are available. Either an out-and-back on the paved road starting from Cruzy (7.4km, 130m elevation gain), or a loop that turns towards Villespassans without actually reaching it, skirting around L'Estagnol and descending to the right to the Chapel of Sainte Foi (10km, 210m elevation gain). A small correction regarding the incorrect names: The first gorge at Roquefourcade (the village spring) is called Marie-Coquette, the ruined building after the small Chapel of Sainte Foi is called the Sainte Foi Sheepfold, and the second gorge that climbs towards Les Gyssières (Platières) is called Marie-Close. This walk is especially recommended after the spring rains when there is water in the Nazoure River and waterfalls at Marie-Close.

Beautiful natural tunnels near the town of Minerve, north of Carcassonne.

Magnificent breakthrough in the rock beneath Minerve, where trees grow from the ceiling…

Small road in good condition, little traffic, with spectacular views of the Gorges de la Cesse and the Pyrenees mountain range

Pretty valley. From Cruzy, once out of the defile (after 3.9km), it is possible to turn left to return via Montplo le Bas, or right to go around Estagnol and return a little before entering the parade (near the Chapel of Sainte-Foi).

Daniel's Bridge (named in honor of a mayor behind the development of irrigation canals) spans the Brian with its majestic arch.

The Pont Petit and Pont Grand (small and large bridges) form two cave tunnels in the La Cesse stream. The two very impressive caves are about 2 and 3 hundred meters long and can be walked through without light.
