The wine village of Maury is located in the authentic hinterland of Fenouillèdes vineyards, protected in the north by the Corbières chain, dominated by the castle of Queribus and the foothills of the Pyrenees.

Even the drive along the practically single-lane road is an adventure. There are only a few places to stop. However, the large parking lot is a good starting point for hiking into the gorge (warning: only experienced hikers can reach the bottom!) and to the hermitage.

These are some very beautiful gorges. Note the small medieval stone bridge that seems so fragile. Also know that the thermal spring of La Fou is very close to this magical place.
