Category: Whitewater river
Where?: Saint-Martin-Lys south of Quillan
Put in: The major roadbridge south of Axat has ampel parking. Takeout is after an out of character Class IV rapid past Sain-Martin-Lys.
Approx length: 5km
Access rights: Unknown, but the section is also rafted
Major hazards: The Class IV rapid runs safely but may take beginners by suprise, it is not optional due to a canyon.
Description: The Aude was a bouncy Class III in a wide gorge, with the main road cut into the side of the cliff above. The noticeboard at the put in raves about long III/IV canyons but at our waterlevel they where easy grade III's.
