This round trip walk leads to the heights of the only cliffs in Languedoc-Roussillon. On the program, spectacular views of the Mediterranean, wild coves with crystal clear waters and smells of scrubland.
The start of the route is located in a car park near La Franqui beach. After a little less than a kilometer traveled, you reach the Franqui redoubt. Overlooking the sea, this old fort dates from the 17th century.
The rest of the route progresses on a pleasant path lined with vegetation. The path of the forts or the watchman's path dominates the cliffs which plunge into the Mediterranean, around fifty meters below. When you reach the semaphore erected on Cap Leucate, all you have to do is turn back, on the same path as on the way out.
