Monument jeu d'enfant

"Situated at the foot of the Corbières mountains and close to the Etang de Salses, the fortress occupies a special geographical area, between the sea and the mountains, which has given rise to a unique landscape and natural environment.

Come and discover the fauna and flora of the fortress, and how this environment was built and shaped over time. Activities and tours will take you on a journey through extended geological time and into microscopic worlds. You'll see a variety of shapes, colours and a rich biodiversity.

An opportunity to develop your creativity and get to know your region better!

"When water shapes our landscapes" with Les Petits Débrouillards

From the mountains to the sea, water shapes landscapes, and is present everywhere. In Salses, traces of its passage can be found in the profile of the Corbières, the wetlands and ponds, and of course the sea!

Let's find out how it carves out the rivers, scours the rocks from the mountains and creates the beaches... With a range of experiments, you'll discover how water shapes our landscapes!
