Climbs along the Sals to Arques

The ride

From Arques you roll out past the Château d'Arques, then on to the Château de Serres before the route follows La Sals and L'Aude. The Corbières-Fenouillèdes nature reserve opens up the middle stretch, with the Château de La Serpent and the Couguaing river along the way. A last castle at Belcastel, then back to Arques after 73.5 km, mostly on paved roads.
