Olargues to the waterfall (Source Frejo) on the Piste Vert, Languedoc.

Olargues to the waterfall (Source Frejo) on the Piste Vert today. A lovely little stroll along the pretty track with plenty of beautiful views of the Caroux and Espinouse and lots of wild flowers, including orchids. 

If you want to go down to the waterfall you need to go up the steeps and down a little path through an orchard for a short way as the access is form a small car park for the falls. 

We even saw a lovely Hermann's tortoise along the way. About 3km. All I could manage with my injured ankle from yesterday's walk. 

Olargues is a lovely village to visit, with a castle and tower on the hill, a couple of little bars, a very good restaurant and even a new little pizza restaurant along the Piste Vert beside the old Station building, with nice seating area outside. 

It's always a delight to wander around the lovely old streets with the deep coolness of the old stone buildings. It also has a most beautiful 13th century bridge over the river Jaur.
