Perhaps you have guessed that Montouliers derives from Monte Olerio, literally: the Mount of Olives? To find them, go to the top of the town, near the Saint Baudile church and the castle, both dating from the XNUMXth century. On this plateau, take the opportunity to admire the breathtaking view of the hills and the valley!
In spring, the olive trees are loaded with olives, the cypresses release their polene and the mulberry trees turn green. Laurels and Judas trees display their pink and fuchsia flowers. A colorful spectacle making the calades of Montouliers particularly beautiful! The paving made of stones and pebbles, built as in the old way, will take you back to the time of the Roman villages.
