Olargues is a commune in the Hérault department in the Languedoc-Roussillon region in southern France. Olargues is a beautiful example of a French Medieval town. It was occupied by the Romans, the Vandals and the Visigoths. At the end of the 11th century the Jaur valley came under the authority of the Château of the Viscount of Minerve. The following centuries saw a succession of wars and epidemics, and it wasn’t until the 18th century that Olargues became reestablished. This was due to the prosperity of local agriculture and artisanal industry.
The “Devil’s Bridge” is said to date back to 1202 and is reputed to be the scene of transactions between the people of Olargues and the “devil”. The old village is clustered around the belltower, which was formerly the main tower of the castle. The old shops have marble frontage and overhanging upper storeys. -Not to be missed are the museum of popular traditions and art, in the stairs of the Commanderie, and the lovely walkway across the river.
