Located at a depth of 250 metres, this abyss is impressive and exceptional. It can be visited from above, for the less athletic, or via an acrobatic course for the more adventurous. It can also be reached by kayak via an underground river.
An hour's drive from our hotel, on the way to the sea, the Gouffre de l'œil Doux is a circular lake set against magnificent cliffs. Easily accessible thanks to its signposted path, there's no need to plan a long hike, but swimming is prohibited. Fortunately, the sea is not far from Saint-Pierre-la-Mer to cool off.
A geological curiosity, the Bénitiers de l'Alaric are original limestone formations that are well worth a look. It's a great opportunity to take a nature hike not far from Carcassonne, and to immerse yourself in the vegetation of the region. A walk close to Carcassonne, as Floure is only 20 minutes away by car.
