Roll out of Banyuls-dels-Aspres and follow the route past the river La Galserane, then La Canterrane and the Têt, with La Bassa further along. The castles come thick and fast: Loge de Mer, the Château and the Château de l'Esparrou. It's 82.0 km with 377 m of climbing, all on paved surface. Back to the start village to finish.
