PETROLHEAD

Belgian Business Manager and ex moto crosser, arranges round trips in the Corbières mountains region bordering departments 11-66.

​

We visit incredible sites, inaccessible by cars and completely off grid from the known tourist attractions.

 

The unique feeling of being in control of a 4x4 all terrain vehicle, experiencing incredible experiences at your own pace and all this away from the known tourist traps of the region. The new quads are Kymco MCU 550i which due to the dry climate, are equipped with a ‘spark arrester’ that completely eliminates the danger of sparks through the exhaust and also ensures that the noise is kept to the minimum.

​

Rental of quads in the Catheres region, ( Tuchan, Paziols, Tautavel, Padern, Vingrau…) and the Corbières of the Languedoc Roussilion.
