Near the village of Duilhac-by-Corbieres, after a short break on a road
bordered by vineyards, gorges Verdouble called "The Cascades" offer a
dazzling show in a picturesque setting.
The river has carved Verdouble way into Cretaceous limestone massif of
Anayrac in an impressive gorge lined with rosemary.
Clear water flowing therein by a succession of waterfalls, potholes and
small natural lakes dug into the rock.
This bucolic site is ideal for a pleasant walk where only the sound of
nature will delight you.

Specialities
The Verdouble, from Rouffiac, has carved in Cretaceous limestone massif of Anayrac an impressive gorge lined with rosemary. The water flows through a succession of waterfalls, potholes and small natural lakes dug into the rock. A dam, which remain the anchors in the rock, once fed the old grist mill that belonged Ribaute under the old regime to the municipality. This bucolic site is a pleasant place for walking (no swimming).
Maybe did you find waterfalls of Verdouble on television as a report was filmed by France 2 in 2004. It was broadcast on 1 August 2004 on the same line ...
(To get to the waterfalls, take the path behind the ruins of the mill).

The Corbières is one of the wildest areas of France with one of the lowest population densities. It is picturesque with wine growing areas alternating with garigue and mountainous countryside. It is located mainly in the Aude département and partly in the Pyrénées-Orientales département. The River Aude borders the Corbières to the west and north. To the south is the River Agly and to the east the the Mediterranean Sea. The name Corbières comes from "cor" a pre-Celtic word meaning "rock" and "berre" from the River Berre which runs through Durban. The eastern part of the Corbières with its Etangs, borders the the Mediterranean Sea and is called the Corbières maritimes. It has its own distinctive climate and characteristic vegetation known as thermomediterranean vegetation...

Muscat de Rivesaltes is an appellation for the historic vins doux naturels from a relatively large area of Roussillon, in southern France, covering a total of 99 communes, and the majority of the Pyrenees-Orientales administrative departement. It is the largest single sweet wine appellation in France. Muscat de Rivesaltes wines are made predominantly from Muscat Blanc a Petit Grains and Muscat d'Alexandrie in varying ratios, according to the style desired by the individual producer. Muscat Blanc a Petits Grains is used to bring aromas of exotic and citrus fruits while Muscat d'Alexandrie brings a deeper bouquet of white flowers and ripe stone fruit. Collectively the wines show aromas of peach, lemon, mango and occasionally fresher, herbaceous notes like mint. These aromas all change with ageing, (which take place mostly in the bottle to preserve the fresher aromas) and the wines take on aromas of honey and baked stone fruits...

Train touristique du pays Cathare et du Fenouillèdes |

The Cathar Fenouilledes country train runs along a railway between Rivesaltes in the Pyrenees Orientales ans Axat in Aude, dignified heritage from the City of the South and a radial relationship between Carcassonne and Rivesaltes. Along the way you can see numerous and remarkable works of art as it winds its way through valleys and tunnels: Flirting languidly with the rivers Agly and Aude, it reveals the rocky countryside, sprinkled with vineyards on the mountainside, dominated by many notables sites (The Catlar Castle at Queribus, The Tour of Far, the relay station of froça real...) before reaching the forest at the end of an audacious railway journey...
