This superb greenway follows the route of an old railway line. At this precise location, you benefit from the unexpected freshness of a tunnel. The landscapes of pretty villages and the passage near old railway stations follow one another.

Mirepoix is a place well worth seeing, with a town center full of half-timbered houses with rows of shops. It's very busy when it's market day! You can see more of the beautiful houses without the market.
