Léon is heading to France!

Léon is planning a new journey for August!

Time: 2 weeks
Destination: France
Region: Languedoc-Roussillon
Departments: Hérault, Aude and Pyrénées-Orientales
Places he wants to visit: Carcassonne, Domaine O'Vineyards, Narbonne, Béziers, Séte, Perpignan, Collioure, Villefranche-de-Conflen, Mont-Louis, Chateau de Peyrepertuse, Mosset, Martin-du-Canigou, Foix and Andorra

 

Léon absolutely loves trains and hiking! So the two things Léon is most excited about are:

1. The trip by Le Petit Train Jaune from Villefranche-du-Conflent to Mont Louis. 
The whole route of the train is 63 km long and exists for over 100 years! Beautiful scenery of Pyrénées! Amazing for photography lovers! It is definitely a must see! Just can't wait!!

2. Monastery l'Abbey de Saint Martin du Canigou. First Léon has to drive up into the Pyrénées to the village of Castiel. Then he has to hike for around 40 minutes trough the forest to reach the monastery. After the tour inside he will definitely hike higher to have a view of the Abbey from above. It suppose to be breath-taking! We will see! 

Do YOU have any suggestions for Léon? Any tips for 'must do' or 'must see' places? Or maybe he shouldn't go somewhere because is a complete waste of time?!
