Between fen and mountains

Three chapels and a cave above Villefranche

Today's walk took us above the citadel village of Villefranche, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and then up past Fort Liberia both fortifications built by Vauban after the Treaty of the Pyrenees to oversee the adjacent valleys. We continued to the abandoned village of Belloc and on to the St Etienne Chapel before taking a precipitous, scree ridden path down to the Notre Dame de Vie chapel, built just below a huge cave formally used for pagan worship.  The weather was perfect as were the views and it was a splendid walk, full of autumn colour, around 12 mms with about 750 metres of cumulative ascent.
