The Hérault Gorges: A Natural Wonder

The gorges are also a popular spot for picnics, offering plenty of shady spots along the river.
Le Pont du Diable : Un Pont Chargé d'Histoire
The Pont du Diable, built in the 11th century, is one of the oldest medieval bridges in France. This masterpiece of Gothic architecture spans the Hérault and marks the entrance to the gorges. The bridge takes its name from local legends and provides a spectacular backdrop for photographs. It's an ideal starting point for hikes in the gorges or for a simple stroll to admire the breathtaking views of the river and surrounding cliffs.

The peaceful atmosphere and historic buildings make Saint Guilhem-le-Désert a perfect place to relax and soak up the local history.
