La Coopérative -
Musée Cérès Franco |

8 km from Carcassonne, in Montolieu, a book village, La Coopérative (former village wine cooperative restored as an art center) hosts the impressive collection of brut, naive, unique and expressionist art gathered by Cérès Franco.
Since 2015, the Cérès Franco Collection has been housed in an exceptional setting: the former wine cooperative cellar of Montolieu. Resolutely international, the Cérès Franco Collection brings together around 2,000 works from the 20th and 21st centuries, some of which are presented each year on a different theme. Brazilian and European naivety, South American popular art, art brut, self-taught, singular, artists from the CoBra movement or the New Figuration, the provenance of the works reflects an eclectic and independent taste for an art situated on the fringes of the major artistic currents...

Sentier Montolieu et la Chapelle Saint-Roch |
|
| |
 |
|
| |
Beautiful walk which is neither sheltered from the wind nor the sun. Rather steep climb on the first kilometer and smoothed over the next two. Signs in raw wood, hollow, indicating "Circuit Saint-Roch" will guide you all along, even if they are not very visible or legible ... Since October 15, 2018 and the floods a lot of land has been removed from the paths and many of them became very stony and rocky. But the circuit remains entirely feasible. The large car park is located at the bottom of the village, to the east, at the start of the Moussoulens road.
(D/A) A road runs along the car park, itself bordered by a high stone wall. Take this road to the left and walk along the wall all the way.
This road climbs quite steeply. Follow it to a path that climbs to the left and is signposted "Circuit Saint-Roch".
(1) Take this path which goes up to the Saint-Roch
chapel. Pass in front of the chapel and on the right go down by a
motorable lane which, after two hairpin bends, will bring you back
to the road. At this point, the tar gives way to a carriageway but
stony. Take it to the left and climb slowly towards the plateau in
the middle of low vegetation of boxwood and Kermes oaks...

Casquette et Chapeau is a charming restaurant in the heart of Montolieu, le village du livre.
It is typical of many such restaurants in villages across France, looking unremarkable and unexciting until you sample what it has to offer. Situated in a small square opposite the church, the best tables for lunch are outside under the shade of the plane trees, but the interior is also airy and welcoming.
Service is as it should be, neither too fast nor too slow, and with just the right amount of attention.
Remarkably, for France, customers without a reservation were welcomed at 2.00pm without fuss, which makes this restaurant even more exceptional than most...

Just 17 kilometres north-west of Carcassonne, perched on a rocky outcrop between the Dure and Alzeau gorges stands Montolieu, village of books. For the past 20 years, all year round, its second-hand and antiquarian bookshops have been welcoming visitors who are keen readers and book lovers.
The Museum of Book Arts and Crafts is open throughout the year and offers a fascinating journey through the history of books, from the earliest writing and developments in writing media, right down to the invention of printing. Entering Montolieu, the magic begins.In the 18th century, Montolieu, a picturesque medieval village perched on a rocky spur between the Dure and Alzeau gorges, and the surrounding villages experienced economic prosperity with the textile and paper industries. Many mills were fed by the sometimes capricious rivers that flowed down from the Black Mountain. The rural exodus of the 19th century signalled the decline of the paper industry, the royal cloth factory and the agricultural and wine-growing industries. In the 1980s, a man, Michel Braibant, a bookbinder in Carcassonne, dreamt of reviving deserted alleyways...
