From Quillan beautiful cycling. Was on July 10, 2021 finish place Tour de France. Stage won by Mollema! He cycled alone over Col de Saint Louis. Beautiful climb, with very spicy 2 km. After 'snail house' viaduct the climb flattens. Nearby D45 and D45, quiet roads where you must be careful for the many butterflies. D7/D10, Gorges de Galamus: worthwhile but try to pass in the morning. Narrow and busy.
