The Gorges de Galamus and its viewpoints: an epic van road trip

This spectacular canyon, carved by the Agly river, impresses with its vertical red limestone cliffs. The D123 road that cuts through it is a challenge for drivers, but the view is more than worth the effort.

Perched on the cliff face, this 7th-century troglodyte hermitage is steeped in history and spirituality. Access is via a staircase carved into the rock, offering an unrivalled view of the gorges.

This viewpoint provides a unique perspective over the Gorges de Galamus and the Agly valley. Ideal for a photo stop or a picnic with panoramic views.

Perched over 700 metres high, this 11th-century Cathar castle overlooks the Corbières and offers an exceptional panorama. A must for history lovers and those seeking grand landscapes.

This 10th-century Benedictine abbey, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is a gem of Romanesque art. Its cloister and sculpted capitals are well worth the detour.

This charming medieval village, nestled at the foot of the Corbières, is the ideal starting point for exploring the gorges. Its cobbled streets and local market add an authentic touch to your getaway.
