Adrenaline junkies….here is your fix. Known also as Le Sentier du Vertige (very loosely translated as the dizzy trail), a day out at the Gorge de la Carança is a giddy adventure through stupendous mountain…

Can you remember old Noddy and Big Ears? Of course you can! Well, guess what the translation of Noddy is in French – it’s Oui Oui! Kind of makes sense doesn’t it as we do…

On either side of the winding road, signposts suggest Corsavy, Montferrer, Saint Laurent de Cerdans and Coustouges, pretty villages well worth a visit another time. Today however, we are heading towards the end of the line, the unspoilt fortified medieval town of Prats de Mollo, dominated by Fort Lagarde, designed by Vauban in 1680.
