Spring horseback riding from Cucugnan
Visit the Corbières with Cheval Cathare
Spring is a wonderful time to immerse yourself in the colours and scents of Mediterranean nature: cysts, aphyllanthes, linseed and broom are all in bloom for you to enjoy!
A perfect opportunity to visit the Corbières and discover its luminous, contrasting landscapes: holm oak forests, fragrant scrublands, rocky outcrops, wilderness, and more.
Come and experience our authentic region...

Day 2
A beautiful ride on Pic de Bugarach mountain, a mythical place that has inspired many legends. We ride along the forest tracks of the Eau Salée forest towards Trou de la Relhe. Our steps lead us to the Salz, a local geological curiosity whose flow and salinity vary with the seasons and rainfall. Through Bournasset Woods, we reach La Fage Pass, then head for Fourtou and finally Bouchard.
