Tips

Perched on a hill overlooking Villeneuve-les-Corbières, near Tuchan, the Vierge de la Récaoufa has watched over the Corbières from its tower built around 1869, undoubtedly on an ancient pilgrimage site. Destroyed by a violent storm, the building was rebuilt in 1975 thanks to the mobilization of neighboring municipalities. The path that climbs up to it, short but steep and rocky, can be completed in about two hours for 3 kilometers and 250 meters of elevation gain. The effort is rewarded at the summit by a 360-degree panorama encompassing Mont Tauch, Mont Alaric, and the villages of Durban, Cascastel, and Villeneuve.

"In danger, in doubt, in difficulties, think of Mary, invoke Mary. Do not let her name leave your lips, never let it leave your heart. (...) Under her protection, you have nothing to fear; if she goes before you, you will not tire; if she grants you his favor, you will reach your goal." St. Bernard of Clairvaux
