The castle of Durban stands in ruins on a rocky outcrop overlooking the village of Durban-Corbières, in the Aude. Built in the 11th century on Roman remains for the lords of Durban, vassals of the viscounts of Narbonne, it is mentioned as early as 1018 and long reigned over the surrounding valleys. Sold in 1873 to recover its stones, then dismantled, it was only saved in 1989 when the commune acquired what remained of it.

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.

The ride is mostly on cycling paths with nice views and beautiful sceneries. The destination is unique and the many oyster shacks will serve oysters and other shell fish fresh from the catch and raw. Keep in mind that they don't serve anything else. With your meal you can get water, soft drinks or wine. The prices are very reasonable. We chose to go back along the litoral 8 via Toreilles Plage, which makes other a sixty plus km ride. Well worth it. Tip: check the weather as it can be very windy in this area. We had a 35km head wind going, but that was in our favour on the return.
