The gorges of St-Georges at Axat
Over the millennia, the waves of the Aude have dug in the limestone Pyrenean foothills spectacular gorges.
The gorges of Saint Georges, upstream from Axat, are the narrowest part of the Haute Vallée de l'Aude. Here, the river has dug the rock into a canyon more than 30 meters deep, the walls of which are distant, in places, only about twenty meters.
