Arriving from Vingrau, you'll notice the small road and its twists and turns that climb to the left just before you reach Opoul. The tarmac gradually deteriorates until you reach the château and then the Coll de la Sabina. The road itself is of little interest, but offers superb views of the Albières and the coast. Continuing past the pass, the road deteriorates further before reaching the abandoned village of Périllos, which is unlikely to be visited.... read more

En arrivant sur depuis Vingrau, on remarque la petite route et ses lacets qui montent sur la gauche juste avant d’arriver sur Opoul. L’état du bitume se dégrade peu à peu jusqu’au château puis au coll de la Sabina. La route en elle même ne présente que peu d’intérêt mais elle offre un superbe panorama sur les Albières et la côte. En continuant après le col, l’état de la route se dégrade encore avant d’arriver jusqu’au village abandonné de Périllos dont la visite est assez improbable.
