Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert Day Trip

We'll meet at 9 am at the Mosson tram station in Montpellier and travel by minibus to Hérault. There you'll find Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, a notable medieval village in the region.

Before visiting this village in Occitania, we'll tour the surrounding area, beginning with a pottery workshop followed by a stop at a viewpoint to admire the gorges of the area.

The excursion continues to Salagou Lake, where you’ll have time for lunch while enjoying views of the Hérault valley. The next stop will be the Pont du Diable: a stone footbridge built in the Middle Ages and recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998.

After this visit, we'll take a guided tour of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, learning about the history of its prominent landmark, the Gellone Abbey, part of the French Way of St. James.

At 5 pm, we'll return to the starting point in Montpellier.
