From Durban-Corbières you roll out past the Château de Durban, then follow La Berre into the Corbières-Fenouillèdes nature reserve. The road climbs through the hills to the Château de Villerouge-Termenès before La Nielle leads you home. Along the way you take in 1097 m of climbing, with the route running 98% paved and 2% unpaved. It's a loop that starts and finishes in the same village, with castles and rivers marking the way.
