The season of colors

Autumn Lights

Between the Mediterranean and the Albères mountains, nature gently changes its appearance. While the sea remains warm, the trails regain their coolness.

It's the perfect time to explore the trails, cycle between vineyards and the Mediterranean with the Canigou mountain as a backdrop. Paddle along the Côte Vermeille or embark on a sea excursion… Bathed in exceptional light, the landscapes are adorned with golden hues and offer magnificent panoramas at every turn.

Living here in the autumn…
