A rather pretty ruined bridge. A majestic suspension bridge that must have been truly magnificent in its heyday! On the other side of the current bridge, there's a view of a small village on a lovely little hill, with marshy areas in front; it reminded me (just a little) of a Wish-like Mont Saint-Michel!

The Suspension Bridge between Mallemort and Mérindol. Its restoration should start in early 2025. In a short while, we should be able to use it by bike!

The village of Mérindol is directly linked to the Vaudois movement. This movement was born from the preaching of a simple layman named Vaudès. This religious dissidence was first tolerated by the Roman Church. It was then rejected, the name "Vaudois" even becoming synonymous with sorcerer or heretic. The movement of the poor of Lyon (another name given to the Waldensians) was born around the year 1170 from a rich bourgeois from Lyon named Valdès who was keen to return to the humility of the early times of Christianity. Driven out of Lyon, the movement spread where Vaudois preachers could still preach publicly. He settled in Provence and especially in the county of Toulouse, as well as in northern Italy. It is in Mérindol that the bloody massacre of the Vaudois began in 1545. A path of memory remains from this terrible past with some vestiges of these bygone times at the height of the current village.
