Gouleyrous gorges are the gorges north of Tautavel and is
accessed by taking Highway Vingrau and turning north (indicated). They are the
distinction of being overlooked by the Arago Cave, the famous cave where they
found the skeletal remains of the oldest European (450,000 years). The gorge was
carved by the Verdouble, which takes its birth in the Aude and passes Tautavel
before joining Agly. They have a length of about a hundred meters and dominates
the Verdouble at least 50m. The river has shaped the rocks so impressive, they
are eroded, sometimes hollow, without sharp edges. The Verdouble flows
constantly running up against a bank to the other, forming small eddies and
gives "pots", the round hollows in stones larger or smaller. The cliffs are
vertical, they serve as support for climbers in the region. This spot is part of
climbing a essemble site of the same kind and which is designated under the
generic name of " Cliffs of Vingrau ", although some of these sites are not in
this village. Few shallow caves were dug into the cliff, they are only
accessible by climbing precisely...

Downstream Padern, the cash is Verdouble again to cross a link of limestone from the mountain of Tauch, thus creating a site with magnificent gorges. Clinging to a rock, the castle ruins above the village. This castle is monitoring the Verdouble valleys and Torgan. In 899, King Charles the Simple Padern gives to the Abbey of Lagrasse. The medieval castle, there is nothing left. Yet Padern housed Occitan knights in rebellion to the King of France. Thus, Chabert and William Barbaira Peyrepertuse found refuge when they fled. The building was an element of protection and surveillance over the mesh in this terrotoire border. The current building is a building of the seventeenth century made by the lord Peter de Vic making the acquisition at this time. Access is easy by a small path that winds to the south...

Picturesque gorge at the foot of Mount Tauch... Apart an, the only other sizeable settlement in this terroir is Tuchan, on the slopes of Mont Tauch, 917m (2800 ft) high. The name comes from the Occitan word touch, meaning yew tree, popular here as elsewhere in pre-Christian times. Only a few of these trees now remain. On the slope of Mont Tauch is the chapel of Notre Dame de Faste. Its presence in this remote spot is explained by the spring that rises here. It was almost certainly a holy place before it was Christian place. It is approached by a track...
