Hillfort in Aude which gets its name from the mediaeval hero, but the construction dates from the late Bronze/Early Iron age.
Le Roc Gris is visible for miles around - at 418 m. it's a ridge-crest on the shoulder of Mont Alaric [600 m.] The short way up is to follow the GR 77 out of Moux, past the house called Four a Chaux and after 200 m. turn up a path on the L. The going is steep for 30 minutes - the views are breathtaking too.
