The best walk of the three with panoramic views of the Pyrénées

Departure point : porte de Pépy ->

Take the street which goes up behind the church then take the first road on the left, rue de la Chapelle. Go straight ahead to the cemetery. Follow the lane on the left of the cemetery.

Follow the lane until you come to a small wood and follow the path up into the wood.
Continue until the top the hill. Take a sharp right, go under the electric fence and follow the little track which goes up the hill through the broom.

Go up the crest of the hill until you reach the peak "Pic des 3 Seigneurs" (height 443 m). From here you'll see a magnificent panoramic view of the Pyrénées, the Corbières and the Razès.

On your descent there are 2 different routes :

• One to the left following the track until the tarmac road, go right on the tarmac road to the D52 which takes you back to Alaigne.
• the second track goes straight down through the broom, turn right, go down to the vines and turn left into the vines and go straight down to the road D52 which will take you back to Alaigne

Just after the sign post for Alaigne, turn right along the side of the cemetery and carry on back to the centre of the village. At the church turn left to go back to the porte de Pèpy.
