The Orgues, a landscape unique in France
The Orgues d'Ille-sur-Têt is a listed geological site, unique in France: cliffs of sand and clay that erosion has patiently sculpted into vertical columns, shaping a landscape of "fairy chimneys" with an almost lunar look. A place that is both fragile and spectacular, much photographed.
A practical base for exploring the area
Ille-sur-Têt lies halfway between Perpignan and the Conflent, less than twenty minutes from Thuir and its Caves Byrrh — a central position appreciated by visitors who want to combine several of the département's curiosities in a single day.
A human-scale Catalan village
Beyond the Orgues, Ille-sur-Têt has a lively village centre with its local shops and market, a discreet sub-prefecture of Roussillon.
