Formed during a volcanic eruption 740 million years ago, the Mont Saint-Loup is located halfway between Agde and Cap d'Agde. From the top of its 113 meters of altitude, it offers a unique panorama. The "Sentier d'Emilie" which leads to the summit immerses the walker in a charming perfume of Mediterranean essences such as the scrubland of green oaks and almond trees. A pleasant walk far from the traffic, the view from the top is really worth the detour: cliffs of the Cap, black beach of the Grande Conque, rock of the Deux Frères, islet of Brescou...

Pézenas, a charming town, is a veritable historical treasure trove. Its well-preserved historic center offers exceptional, picturesque architecture, with its craftsmen's stalls and cobbled streets. The town has been associated with Montagnac since the 13th century in an annual cycle of five fairs, and was chosen as a residence by the Montmorency family, Governors of Languedoc, as early as 1560. Pézenas is also known as the home town of Molière and his illustrious theater. Today, Pézenas continues to cultivate its passion for theater and the performing arts. For lovers of history and culture, Pézenas is an unmissable destination.

In the heart of a forest of holm oaks, perched on a rocky spur overlooking the Aspres massif, this small church was built at the end of the 11th century by local peasants. The richness of the interior of the priory is dazzling. The capitals and the Romanesque sculptures in pink marble from Villefranche-de-Conflent illustrate the religious art of the 10th and 12th centuries in the Roussillon region. The details abound: stylized mythological animals, griffins, lions, snakes, eagles with spread wings and a whole flora, roses and acanthus leaves. Particularly remarkable, the tribune is considered to be the finest example of Romanesque sculpture in the Catalan region. The marble of the Conflent, contributes to magnify this unsigned masterpiece realized around 1150. It divides the nave in two parts, one reserved for the canons, the other accessible to the faithful. The platform with its incomplete balustrade housed the choir. A botanical garden has been laid out around the priory on about fifty hectares, inviting you to discover its scents. The surroundings of Serrabona are also a magical place for beautiful walks in the heart of the wild Aspres: forests, meadows, small streams... This enchanting setting will seduce nature lovers and above all you will find a calm and bucolic atmosphere opposite the bustle of the coast. A visit to Serrabona is the perfect excursion for a family afternoon. Serrabona leaves no one indifferent!

Lovers of beautiful walks, we take you to the top of a rocky plateau (300 m altitude), 4 km north of Céret, where the hermitage of Saint-Ferréol is located. Built at the end of the 13th century by the Benedictine monks of the abbey of Arles-sur-Tech, it is a small group of buildings surrounded by holm oaks and built in a rather bare Romanesque style. The other interest of this walk remains the magnificent panorama on the valley of Tech, the plain and its orchards. And then, the setting lends itself to beautiful picnics with family or friends.
