Abbey of St Martin

Visit the Abbey of St Martin du Canigou near Casteil but don't take an expensive land rover trip until you've weighed up the walk from Casteil. If it's too much for you, on no account take the trip from further away. It will cost you far more and you can easily reach Casteil by bus.
