Access: machine translated ➜

Leave the A-9 'la Languedocienne / la Catalane' (Montpellier-Barcelona) at exit 41 just before Perpignan and drive through Rivesaltes on the D-117 towards Quillan. About 35 km after Rivesaltes you reach Saint Paul de Fenouillet, where you turn right (north) onto the D-7 in the direction of Camp sur l'Agly, Bugerach. You cross the Gorges de Galamus on a road cut into the rock before reaching Cubières sur Cinoble. Continue east on the D-14 via Col de Bancarel and Col de Linas to Bugarach.Park the car near a sharp right turn about 200 m before Bugarach. On the left side of the road, a sign points to the 'Cascades d'En Mathieu'.

Approach (1 h): machine translated ➜

\nFrom the said bend, a dirt road leads southward, you pass a barrier and come to a small reservoir. Continuing along its eastern edge, we cross the little river la Blanque that feeds the waterfalls. The trail continues in a southerly direction slightly ascending, we ignore a signpost to the 'Cascades' (to the left).\n\After about 1 hour the trail drops slightly again and we reach a ford. Here is the entry.

Tour (1 h 30): machine translated ➜

3 smaller rappels, otherwise river walk

Return (20 min): machine translated ➜

Either you walk out in the streambed for about 30 minutes to the place where the rappel crossed the river for the first time or you look for a way up to the left after the 7 m rappel.
