Sunday we went hiking again. We got a ride from Montpellier to Soubes with Chantal; we were five in the car: Chantal (she lived in many places in France and her son lives in Montreal) , Stephanie (very cute, from Paris, she moved to Montpellier 8 years ago) Freddy (from Montpellier, he did not talk too much), Mark and I and Chantal’s dog; we are all in the mini van , the ride is nice and comfortable.
This is a the farthest from Montpellier we been so far. Soubes is north of Lodeve about 50 km. It is a small medieval town with narrow street mostly covers in arches street; church in the middle of the town, a castle to visit.
The hike leader is Pascal. We meet the group in the parking lot, we know only Caroline and Virgine; it is all good as soon as we start walking up we start chatting with everyone.
As the previous hikes as soon as we start going up the views are magnificent. Down below in the valley, there is a small village with brick houses, beautiful green trees, yellow, purple and red flowers everywhere. There is thyme and rosemary as well; Caroline and Chantal are picking thyme, they told me to boil the thyme in water and drink with the honey, they assure me that is delicious and good for health.
We stopped for picnic up top and Freddy is offering everyone a glass of wine; well, wine, home made cake, coffee, cookies how can one resist not to randone with the French
Picnic was delicious, everyone always is bringing something to share.
This hike is a loop too, on the others side of the mountain is a bit different.
We came across ruins, olive tree and cherry plantations.
After the hike we went to the only restaurant is town for drinks.
