Vins du Roussillon : Cépages Blancs
La Malvoisie est un cépage d'origine catalane de production moyenne qui mûrit tardivement et demande des terroirs très chauds.
En plein renouveau, elle donne lorsqu'elle est vinifiée en sec, des vins pleins de finesse, riches et complexes, à dominante florale. Elle participe avec bonheur à l'élaboration des vins doux naturels.
Les origines mystérieuses de la Malvoisie du Roussillon ont longtemps passionné les ampélographes du monde entier.

Hike in the Regional Natural Park of Catalan Pyrenees
In the heart of Pyrenees, on a path of the MountainCanigou, one Abbey occupies an exceptional site.

If the peak of Canigou, the olympe of the Catalans, is not to be any more presented, his massif reveals many other centres of interest and hikes, wild peaks, a varied fauna, of vast trays and numerous ways of climbing.
The Yellow Train
The Yellow Train
Built at the beginning of the XX° century to open up the high Catalan mountains, the railroad line of the yellow train is the symbol of the territories of mountain of Oriental Pyrenees, in the course of classification in the World heritage of UNESCO.
The line of the yellow train is the outcome of works titanesques begun in 1903 on the initiative of Emmanuel Brousse and Jules Lax.
The yellow train constitutes a model of sustainable development, it is fed by a hydroelectric complex settled throughout Tet and the major component of which is the dam of Bouillouses (in 2100 m of height).
The journey by train looks like a panoramic film which allows to visit the territory of the Regional Natural reserve of Catalan Pyrenees.
