The Montvert Bridge

Pubblicato: 17.06.2024


Le Pont de Montvert is a place steeped in history. So let's start with a little about it: the village is known for being the starting point of the Camisard War on July 24, 1702, after the collective murder of Abbé Cheyla, who had tortured Protestants for several years. One of the leaders of the revolt, the Camisard Esprit Seguier, was sentenced and burned alive on the banks of the Tarn. Camisards (French: Camisards) were the name given to the Huguenots in the Cévennes. Lucerne residents may be reminded of a similar story that took place at the same time in Entlebuch with the expulsion of the Anabaptists and ultimately led to the Sonderbund Wars.

Today, Le Pont du Montvert is a tranquil village whose bridges span three waterways: the Tarn, the Rieumalet and the Martinet. It is therefore a good opportunity to take a break here and drink a glass of rosé wine in one of the inviting street cafés after the circular walk through the sheep and cattle pastures interspersed with granite blocks above the village.
