The Corbières-Fenouillèdes Regional Natural Park covers nearly 200,000 hectares between the Aude and Pyrénées-Orientales regions. This unspoiled area is distinguished by its varied landscapes, including spectacular gorges, Mediterranean forests, vineyards, and rocky plateaus. Rich in biodiversity, the park is a refuge for numerous animal and plant species. It is also marked by a remarkable historical heritage, with Cathar castles perched on the ridges, witnesses to medieval conflicts.

At the heart of this fascinating territory lies our town of Rennes-le-Château, perched on a hill offering breathtaking views of the Aude Valley and the park’s landscapes.

Whether you’re a history buff, a hiking enthusiast, or a seeker of mysteries, the Corbières-Fenouillèdes Regional Natural Park and the town of Rennes-le-Château offer a unique experience in the heart of a fascinating natural and cultural setting.
