September 5, 2022,Viaduct en waterval - Monsols - Col De Crie (Beaujolais)

A half day walk that gives an idea of the region. In Monsols there are some shops and bars. On the way back, during the summer months, you can buy local products and have a drink in "La Maison du Col de Crie".
Out of high season it is only open on Sundays. #travel differently
