Mons to Olargues. Voie verte.

A walk to Olargues along the cycle track from Mons. The bell tower is 12th century, as is the beautiful Pont Du Diable (Devils bridge). The beautiful little old street surrounds the south facing side of the castle ruins. Most of the old houses date from the 13th, 15th and 16th centuries. There are two little bars, a restaurant or two, a lovely bakers, butchers, pottery, tabac, general stores, pharmacy and a number of other lovely little shops dotted around the village. The village is on the Jaur river and surrounded by mountains.
If you walk from Mons to Olargues along the cycle track allow 40 minutes each way. It's always nice to have lunch there so don't rush your walk.
