An absolute must if you are in the Herault and have a day to explore this wonderful natural site. It offers the possibility to take a stroll with shady places to rest in between find the dozens of superb views which offer a paradise for photographers. For those who enjoy a long walk the trails are superb.

The gorge is impressive. The most scenic part is located between the villages Cubières-sur-Cinoble and Saint-Paul de Fenouillet, along the D10/D7 road. From approximatively 42°50′48.96″N 02°28′25.45″E (North) until 42°50′07.47″N 02°28′49.39″E (South) you are allowed to walk alongside the road. There are car parks on both sides of this stretch. This portion of the road is approx. 1,5 km long. After the walk, a small minibus (1 €) can bring you back to the parking where you started. It's possible to do the stretch with your own car, but it is not allowed to stop while driving. To enjoy the scenery and take pictures, I would therefore recommend to do it by foot. At the southern point of the stretch, you can go down via a small path to visit the Ermitage, which includes a semi-open cave whit an altar (it was used as a church). There's a small souvenir shop and café at the Ermitage. The southern parking has a café and public toilets. The walk alongside the road takes about 20 minutes. Count 30 minutes if you include the detour via the Ermitage. Canyoning is possible in the gorge. Even though it is forbidden to go down in the gorge without proper equipment/supervision, lots of people don't seem to care. Organized canyoning groups start from the Southern parking.
