Vanlife road trip: The Gorges de Galamus and Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet, wild gems of the Corbières

Take the spectacular road through the Gorges de Galamus, a narrow route carved into the rock that winds between 300-metre-high cliffs. The Hermitage of Saint-Antoine, clinging to the cliff face, adds a mystical touch to this awe-inspiring natural site.

Nestled in a natural cave, this 17th-century hermitage offers a breathtaking view of the gorges and a uniquely serene atmosphere. Access is on foot from the car park, a short but unforgettable walk.

This medieval village, once the capital of the County of Fenouillèdes, captivates with its cobbled streets, stone houses and the Church of Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens. A must-stop to explore local history and sample regional produce.

The ruins of this 12th-century castle overlook the village of Saint-Paul-de-Fenouillet, offering a 360-degree panorama of the Corbières. A quick climb rewards you with a journey through time and unforgettable photos.

This isolated Romanesque chapel, lost among vineyards and garrigue, is a haven of peace and a testament to medieval religious architecture. Its natural setting makes it an ideal rest stop for vanlifers.
