Highlights
This trip will begin in the wonderful medieval city of Carcassone. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site near the Mediterranean Sea. The tour ends in the charming village, Collioure. The initial stages will be the most strenuous, as there are a lot of valleys. The essentiel first stop is at Limoux to taste the famous bubbly white wine, named after the town; Blanquette de Limoux. Enjoyed with a chocolate dessert, it is a real treat. You will then discover the calm and paradoxically wild landscape of the Hautes Corbières. There are breathtaking views with delightful villages nestled among rows of vines and majestical castles; Château de Queribus and Château de Peyrepertuse perched high on hills in the Cathare countryside. The final cycling stages are less labourious. You will be by the sea enjoying the Cote Vermeille for one day where you can visit Collioure. This is a Catalan port sheltered in a creek where the Mediterrean waters meet the Pyrenees Mountains. With an exceptional climate and guaranteed sunshine, Collioure is a unique spot, the source of Catalan know-how and way of life. Stone and sandy beaches, creeks and crystal clear water will entice you to a refreshing swim. What better way to end your holidays !
