According to the map, we did only a tiny fraction of the entire loop, but it was pretty difficult in heat, and certainly not for anyone with mobility difficulties.

I would recommend this for people who enjoy hikes, nature, and lovely vistas, but not on the hottest day of the year!This is a very unusual walk in a fairly remote area 15 miles or so from Carcassone. The road is one lane and curvy; you should look up directions before you set out, as there aren't many signs until you get right there.

Mayronnes est un village très ancien (10ème siècle); il a été trouvé des monnaies très curieuses remontant aux anciens habitants des Corbières les “Volces Tectosages”. Some fairly hard uphill climbs.

Paths are well marked and clear. Thanks Héresies for this lovely project in middle of nowhere. There is a significantly longer walk that follows a wide gravel road near the start of the ascent, and meets the sculpture trail after a while that offers an easy loop to short circuit the trail if you end up like me with heat sickness.
