We'll meet at 9 am at the Mosson tram station in Montpellier and travel by minibus to Hérault, where you'll find Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, known for its medieval architecture.

Before visiting the village, we will tour the surrounding area, starting with a pottery workshop and a viewpoint to admire the gorges.
