Tour to French Catalonia - Rossellón Region – Explore Castles, Vineyards, and Medieval Villages

Embark on a scenic tour to the French part of Catalonia, known as Rossellón, and discover its peaceful provincial roads winding through lush vineyards, peach and cherry orchards, ancient castles, medieval churches, and charming villages. Nestled at the foot of the Pyrenees near the Spanish border, the small town of Castellnou offers a step back in time. Its steep, cobbled streets lead to a medieval castle once owned by a Catalan count, where you’ll be transported to another era.

Optional: Instead of the castle, you can opt to visit the famous Byrrh Winery, home to the largest oak cask in Europe. Here, you can learn about the local wine production and enjoy a unique experience.

Next, we’ll head to the picturesque medieval village of Villefranche-de-Conflent, crowned by an impressive fortress. As you stroll through the village, you’ll find numerous souvenir shops brimming with French charm, and indulge in delicious sweet and savory crepes. Capture the beauty of the village against the backdrop of its magnificent medieval walls.

To end the tour, enter a true fairy tale with a visit to the stalactite and stalagmite caves. These natural wonders within the Pyrenees offer unreal landscapes: from the bottomless lake to multicolored columns and mysterious corridors, you’ll be immersed in the magical interior of the mountains.

Duration: 10-11 hours
