SAINT-GUILHEM-LE-DÉSERT-VALLEE-DE-L'HERAULT
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.

Une belle église à voir avec son cloitre et le petit film du musée. Ne manquer pas la photo de l'immense platane juste devant. Il faut aussi serpenter le long de la rue principale avec en belle saison de nombreuses boutiques d'ouvertes. Malheureusement au fil des ans, de nombreuses boutiques d'art disparaissent au profit de boutiques de bouche. A noter la difficulté de ses garer sur place, il est préférable de se garer au parking prévu avant le pont du diable et de prendre la navette
