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, known for its medieval architecture.

Before visiting the village, we'll tour the surrounding area, starting with a pottery workshop and then stopping at a viewpoint to admire the gorges of the region.

The excursion will continue to Salagou Lake, where you'll have time to have lunch while enjoying views of the Hérault valley. The next stop will be the Pont du Diable, a stone footbridge from the Middle Ages and a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1998.

After the bridge, we'll take a guided tour of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert and learn about the history of the Gellone Abbey, part of the French Way of St. James.

At 5 pm, we'll return to Montpellier.
