boucle
Yellow PR
Departure in front of the Celliers d'Orfée (formerly Graffan). Garrigue, maquis, vineyards follow one another and offer you beautiful panoramas of the Corbières and the Minervois! This large ampelographic loop takes us back to the time when fruit trees, small plots of vines and olive trees complemented sheep farming, before supplanting it. This route brings together the Lauza loop and the terroirs loop starting from Boutenac. Six “windows” have been installed along the path, allowing you to locate the different terroirs and their geological specificities.

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!
