Maury offers several distinct highlights for a stay: the partially shaded Sentier d’Interprétation de Roubials family loop, the 13.5 km Le Dernier Bastion Cathare hiking route, and visits and tastings at Mas Amiel. These offer a loop trail, a hike with a specified length, and a visit focused on wine cellars and wine as separate options. If you’re looking for hotels in Maury, you can first consider which of these experiences you want to shape your stay. This way, trip planning starts with the kind of stay you have in mind.
Hiking: a loop trail or a 13.5 km route?
The Sentier d’Interprétation de Roubials is a partially shaded family loop. Le Dernier Bastion Cathare is a different kind of route: this 13.5 km hike starts in Maury. You can begin by choosing between two specific features—a loop trail with partial shade, or a route with a stated distance. This distinction helps you decide what kind of hike you want before weighing up other activities. Conditions on the Le Dernier Bastion Cathare may vary, so check them before setting out.
Le Dernier Bastion Cathare runs through the vineyards of Maury to the foot of Château de Quéribus. One section offers panoramic views of the Canigou and Carlit mountain ranges. The route passes through the vineyards to the château, while the panoramic views are limited to a particular section. These landscape features add specific details to the route’s length to help you decide whether the hike is right for you.
Mas Amiel: cellars and tastings
Mas Amiel offers a different focus: tours of its 19th-century cellar and its 350-hectoliter vats. Tastings of Maury Sec and Vins Doux Naturels are also available. The cellar and vats give the tour a historical connection, while the two named wine types provide a specific focus for the tasting. At Mas Amiel, both a visit to the historic cellar and a range of wine themes are at the heart of the experience.
Mas Amiel has more than 200 years of passion and expertise behind it. Together with the 19th-century cellar, this offers another highlight for travelers interested in wine culture as well as hiking. Visit and tasting options may change, so check what’s currently available before making plans.
