Description:
Between the land and the sea - Roussillon, a wild and raw region with a remarkable history embedded in its landscape. Sat within a natural amphitheatre open to the Mediterranean to the east and bordered by three mountain ranges: the Corbières to the north, the Pyrénées and Mount Canigou to the west, and the Albères to the south. The three rivers running west to east through the plains being the; Agly, Têt and Tech, also bring reason for the geological complexity and the range of terrain /altitudes and micro-climates within the relatively small area.

The dragon, said to have lived in the region, now immortalised in a natural rock formation atop the Crête de Serrabonne...
