It's a lot of fun to ride your MTB there. But it's also really strenuous at times. There is a starting point for 10 MTB tours at Valmy Castle.

Taillefer Battery
Highlight • Monument
These achievements visible today are:
The Battery 500 (altitude 500m) above the Col des Gascons in a steep position, with a direct view of the Col de Banyuls.
The Taillefer Battery guards the Ravaner Valley
Battery La Galline (height 250 m) above Cosprons and able to hit the railroad and the road connecting Banyuls to Port-Vendres. It was intended for 4 artillery pieces and 70 men.
The left barracks
The real barracks under Taillefer
The barracks of the center on the route des crêtes
The restoration and elevation of the Madeloc Tower to make it a fortified observation site.
The creation of a strategic road connecting all the factories to each other and to Fort Dugommier and Port-Vendres.
All these defenses are never used.
