A delightful and very interesting circuit of 3 hours, with 460 metres of ascent. Most of the route is in forest and offers good protection from the sun.
Who invented the Rousquille? Was it Touron in Arles sur Tech or pastry chef Marius Séguela of Amelie?
A high drive circuit from Céret, along winding, sometimes narrow roads, through unexploited countryside, remote hamlets and villages with great walking opportunities and superb views.
