Tips from the Community
This chapel is the remaining vestige of a commandery (chapter) of the community usually referred to simply as the "Order of the Templars" or "Knights Templar," whose full name is "Poor Knights of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon in Jerusalem." The order gained notoriety due to its dissolution in 1312 by the French king and the pope, and the violent execution of many members at the stake as alleged heretics. However, the primary reason for the dissolution was not the members' supposed human and religious misconduct/heresy, but rather the legendary wealth of this order. King Philip IV of France, with his meticulously planned actions, primarily sought to secure their possessions to bolster his own coffers.

A great "COOL" trail, partly along the water's edge, pleasant in warm weather! Be careful, the only difficulty is carrying or pushing, in fits and starts, for about 300 meters between km 4 and 5. A bit tough for electric mountain bikes! Don't take the other trail, which is more direct, but where there's actually a ladder to climb!! Not very technically challenging, but you need to be used to riding on more or less stony paths and trails...! Along the Colostre, the trail collapses for about 4 meters, but it's manageable on foot.

I have sat here both directly on the bank and on one of the park benches along the way. When you see this seemingly small river and then consider how many millions of litres of water have been flowing through it every minute for millions of years, it is an indication of what a part each individual river plays in the whole.

Small town on the plateau, surrounded by lots of lavender. Restaurants and souvenir shops in the town.

Nice little castle, looked rather private. Other than that, not much going on in the town. Unfortunately, the bar was closed on Mondays.
