Bridge at the entrance to the Hérault gorges, listed as a Monument Historique since 1935.

This Roman bridge, halfway between Aniane and Saint-Jean-de-Fos and a UNESCO World Heritage site, was built in the 11th century by the monks of Aniane and Gellone to facilitate the passage of pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela. Its name is linked to a legend in which the Devil tried to destroy the works every night. Thanks to a cunning agreement between the Devil and the patron saint Guilhem, the men succeeded in deceiving Satan, infuriating him to the point of falling into the river and being swallowed up forever.

Très bel endroit
Lieu très original, très fréquenté même fin septembre. Peu d'endroits ombragés.

Décors splendides mais il faut impérativement avoir des bouteilles d'eau et des casquettes. Surtout avec des enfants. Il n'y a aucun point d'ombre.
Les navettes (toutes les 15/20 minutes) sont très pratiques pour faire St Guilhem du Désert au pont du Diable car il n'y a quasiment pas de place pour se garer.

Bel ouvrage mis en valeur avec le grand site de Natura 2000 mais dommage qu'il y est un autre pont juste à coté.

Un bel ouvrage d’art roman surplombant les gorges de l’Hérault, qui, à mon sens, sont aussi importantes à voir, si ce n’est plus, que le pont en lui-même. Je rejoindrais donc l’avis précédent sur le fait qu’il est préférable de coupler cette visite avec d’autres points d’intérêts à proximité (grottes de Clamouse, poteries et Argileum, baignades et/ou kayak le long des gorges), d'autant que le stationnement est assez onéreux.
L’Hérault méandre ici entre de gros blocs rocheux, donnant à voir un filet d’eau émeraude dont la température est plus qu’appréciable lors des grosses chaleurs. Le paysage y est tout simplement de toute beauté.

If you want the sensational one, go your way! The three bridges put in perspectives give a bit dizzy! but especially after market for a long time in the sun and after having seen the price of parking!! A shame, as it is worth for the souvenir picture but not so much effort to get it. If you intend to take a dip or eat an end, on the other hand, there is widely average to spend the afternoon on site!
