THE HERMITAGE OF SAINT-FERRÉOL
Read moreLovers 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.

MONT-LOUIS
Read moreThe citadel and ramparts have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 7 July 2008. A recognition that Mont-Louis shares with Villefranche de Conflent. Having never been a member of a GE, except in a Spanish incursion in 1794 which was quickly pushed back by the ge n\ ral Ral (1736-1794), the strong place has reached its original state. So it's a fairly unique place that we can be able to cover. The story goes back to the Traite ́ des Pyre ́ es, sign in 1659, when the high cantons of Cerdanya and Du become franc. After 20 years, unable to exchange this province of Roussillon against a larger territory of Flanders, Louis XIV de\ acdi to build a strong place at the crossroads of communication routes between Capcir, Cerdanya and Conflent, to mark the new frontie re with Spain. In 1679, he entrusted the construction project to Vauban, which chose this site stratum ́ lysergic. In less than 2 years, it became what it is today, the highest strengthens city of France, and took the name Mont-Louis in honour of the Sun King.

LES ALLEES JEAN-JAURES
Read moreAs early as 1743, the artery, which leaves the fountain of the Fountain to end the railway line, fell into désuétude. The avenue Jean-Jaurès was the ideal place for a walk. It's the ideal place for a walk. Launched in 2004, its redevelopment advances by segment and involves the projects of architect Designer Designer. After long work, which is very binding on the merchants and neighbours, a first tranche was opened in October 2010. According to a global plan to rédistribution traffic routes, the decrease in motor traffic with the adoption of semi-communal transit opens new spaces to passers-by. Bicycle paths, green spaces and pedestrian areas are favoured. In the central part, the parking lot is now underground and paid. Kiosks, benches and water jets give a very southern side of the Ramblas, while planted plants will not have to grow too much at the risk of breaking the perpective. Ancient nettle has been preserved and already, we see the great ambition of the future Champs-Elysées nimois: bring the people back to this historic axis.

LE JARDIN DU CALVAIRE
Read moreCarcassonne is not full of mysterious little gardens, so stumbling upon this one is a happy accident. At first glance, the garden looks rather ghostly because of its religious history, but today it offers an interesting relief for those who want to get lost in the narrow streets. Its founder, Canon Jean Cazaintre, took care to plant sacred botanical species in the 19th century. Today, they keep company with the statues of the ancient and catholic cult, some of which have been partially renovated.
