Merens, Ariege, France
Mérens-les-Vals (to give it it's proper name) is a commune in the Ariège department of France, in the Pyrenees Mountains, on the french side of the border with Spain. The Ariege department has many beautiful sights.
It looks peaceful but it's also on one of the higher level road routes between the two countries. I was lucky to catch it without traffic! I've passed through it many times and it's usually busy with vehicles of all sizes, including big lorries.
The narrow gorge does not provide any space for traffic to be diverted round the town.
