boucle
Blue MTB
Starting from the cooperative winery. A short loop above Cascastel, the Pech de Fa, Vente Farine (sharing a section with the footpath for a few meters), and the Jasse de Rivière. Note that this route is not very technical, but all the elevation gain is done in one go; the Corbières region is not "a long, calm river," despite the presence of the Berre River, which you will follow for a while on both the outward and return journeys. You can then enjoy the long descent. Points of interest: Cascastel: castle and gypsum room, 12th-century tower, stone bridge. Viewpoints: Durban and its castle at the Pech de Fa.

From the winery, turn left onto the D106 towards Villeneuve and immediately turn left again. The road heads north. Climb between the vineyards in the area known as "La Crémade." A few meters after a hairpin bend, at the fork, bear left and ascend a track between the Cresse ravine at the locality of Callong and the Pech du Fa. This ravine flows further on into the Berre River, whose course and arrival at Durban can be seen below (viewpoint overlooking the castle and the village of Durban). At the locality of Vente Farine, a particularly windy spot, leave the path to the north on the right, which passes in front of the renovated sheepfold, and take the shared mountain bike/hiking trail to the left for a few meters. Leave this hiking section and continue straight ahead towards the La Rivière stream and the Jasse de Rivière. On your right, don't miss the ochre hues of the Roumanissa and the vineyards planted on the hillsides. Head down towards the D106, following the stream. Turn left towards Cascastel. On your right, you'll see the Moulineau (a renovated mill). Then cross the bridge over the Berre. Continue along the riverbank. In the village, cross the bridge over the Berre and turn right onto the Promenade des Jardins; leave the village and rejoin the outward route. This loop is best enjoyed in late winter, when the mimosas are in bloom, a feast for the eyes and nose. The streams babble.

Be careful, the fire risk is often high, especially in summer, and can lead to flower bed closures. Find out before you go consulting the fire risk map for outdoor activities.
Fires strictly prohibited. Do not smoke and never throw cigarette butts in nature. Fires are numerous and catastrophic in our region. In the event of a fire or accident: give alert 18 or 112 from a cell phone.
Protect yourself from the sun and take enough water with you.
Avoid picking flowers and plants. Take all your trash. Close fences and keep dogs on a leash in pasture areas, villages and protected areas.

Mountain bike routes: the routes are often shared with hikers or other users (cars, tractors, etc.). Be careful and always anticipate that a pedestrian may be present around a bend to have time to brake if necessary. Pedestrians have priority in principle, slow down at crossings or stop if the configuration of the terrain requires you to do so.
Thank you and happy hiking!
