This medieval village in the heart of the Hérault gorges is one of the most beautiful in France.

In the heart of the gorges of Hérault, this medieval village, a large national site, is classified among the most beautiful villages in France. Housed in a small walkway lined with rocky walls, he developed around his abbey founded in 804 by Saint Guilhem. The abbey and its cloister are outstanding examples of the first Languedoc Romanesque art, classified as a World heritage by UNESCO on the roads of Santiago de Compostela. Within the building, the th organs are also classified as historic monuments. Along the streets of this picturesque village, the visitor discovers splendid Romanesque houses. The remains of a castle in the th century are still in the town. Following the Verdus which crosses the village, the visitor reaches the circuses of the Infernet or the End of the world. Nearby, he discovers the gorges of Hérault, which present a tormented, chaotic and wild landscape. The basement is rich in caves, dargilan, springs and outbreaks. The cave of Clamouse with its profusion of rare concretions is a beautiful witness of this world of night.

Un bijou médiéval préservé qui offre de jolies promenades dans ses ruelles et tout autour, dans les hauteurs et les gorges de l'Hérault. Saint Guilhem (prononcer GuiLLem comme Guillaume et non pas Guilem, merci) est malheureusement pris d'assaut en saison. Depuis quelques temps, un parking a été aménagé près du pont du Diable et une navette conduit jusqu'au village

Pour les amateurs d'histoire, ce village se doit d'être visité, avec ses ruelles et ses maisons aux fenêtres romanes, l'abbatiale du XI ème siècle, les ruines du château du Géant, ou l'abbaye de Gellone avec sa crypte et son musée. C'est un lieu magnifique à voir. Il faut compter 3 heures pour en faire la découverte.

Décor magnifique, on en a prit plein les yeux. Les commerçants sont tous très sympathiques. Par contre prévoir de l'eau car il fait très vite chaud et étouffant.
