Gorges de l'Aude
The Gorges de l'Aude are accessed to the south of Quillan, itself south of Carcassonne.
Quillan itself is a pleasant town, but with little in the way of great monuments. It is however well placed to explore both the Cathars castles to the east and the dramatic gorges to the south.
South-west of Quillan the River Aude and its tributaries have carved magnificent ravines and gorges in the landscape.
The road from Quillan to Axat passes through the deep gorge at Pierre-Lys, with cliffs either side of the road stretching to 700 metres in height.
Beyond Axat the route passes through the equally dramatic Gorges de Saint-Georges and Gorges de l'Aude.
All three offer a very good opportunity to enjoy the landscape, either from the comfort of your car - it is said to be one of the most stunning drives in France - or as a starting point for walking and cycling in the region.
