Leucate Lighthouse

Highlight • Viewpoint

The lighthouse is visible far beyond the Plato and offers good orientation not only from the sea. From the vegetation it is relatively barren but green, as it is a real fight against wind and drought for the plants.

April 24, 2024,Occitanie / Leucate - La Franqui / Sentier du guetteur

In the heart of preserved nature and a territory classified Natura 2000.
Departure from the Leucate lighthouse (parking on site).

Very beautiful hike at a height of 50 meters with a magnificent panorama of the Mediterranean.
The path winds along the seafront. Although several sectors are slightly steep, the path as a whole does not present any major difficulties.

The path down along the water is mostly rocky and unmarked. But you can't miss the direction. Very strenuous and warm, despite starting at 8 a.m. At times, it's more like climbing than hiking down by the water. But it's beautiful and recommended. If you prefer an easier route, just do the path along the cliff there and back. Beautiful …
