St Martin des Oeufs, Olargues.

A beautiful walk starting from Olargues, in the Herault today. It's a lovely short circuit of around 7km or 8km. one blue markers. Starting by parking in Olargues. (we park near the river just past the memorial park).Turn up the small road just before the old garage on the ring road. At the end turn right and stay on this good track as it winds up the valley with lovely views of the Espinouse above. The views then turn to the east with views of the beautiful Caroux and the Jaur valley towards Mons. Here you will find the lovely little chapel of St Martin des Oeufs and a good picnic bench. Today there were lots of eggs outside it's door. Often I've seen a few placed there but today was the most. Continue on this track to cross the bridge and reach a small road. Turn right down the road were you will pass by some very friendly sheep and chickens who always run down for a fuss, clanging their large bells (not the chickens, just the sheep). After a while the road winds down into the hamlet of Le Cros. The track continues down to a right bend and then right again. The track will return you to the ring road around Olargues. There's no good way about doing this bit. Just turn right and walk along the road, taking care and soon you will be back at the car.
