2 - To aim la ̶l̶u̶n̶e̶ Tour

Always further, always higher. And autumn isn’t going to stop us! On the contrary, the season lends itself perfectly to a number of hikes in the Pyrenees. Starting with the Tour de la Massane, Argelès-sur-Mer’s emblematic circuit. Nestled at an altitude of over 800 metres, the monument offers a 360° panorama of the Roussillon plain. Now’s the time to take advantage of the cool autumn weather to reach new heights.

Aiming for the Tour de la Massane doesn't scare me.

What fem?*

For twice the magic, we recommend starting the hike mid-afternoon. Once you’ve reached the summit, you’ll be able to enjoy the warm lights of late afternoon. Extra charge for sunset and orange hues. Don’t forget your headlamp for a safe descent!

3 - To mount on his high horse

Autumn also means new landscapes. And new experiences! For a moment out of time, head to one of the region’s ranches for a horseback ride across the Tech. Helmet on and reins in hand, let your trusty steed guide you between fish and reeds. All in the midst of melon-colored vegetation.

4 - For love lounging

In Argelès-sur-Mer, idleness is a veritable art of living. All year round! In autumn, we like to share the pleasures of simple things while enjoying the warm colors of the landscape. Our favorite spot? The Château Valmy park and its 5 hectares of vegetation. The ideal setting for a picnic in good company. On the menu: escalivade and Catalan salad. Extra pumpkin pie to fill up on autumnal flavors. Enjoy!
