Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert wheelchair accessible tours, is a village trapped between sky and rocks.
Embraced by a green that you just wouldn’t expect, the water drops copiously from the springs on the surrounding mountains.
The desert should only be understood in a figurative sense.
To be far from large centers, isolated from other villages, there is very little of arid in Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert, indeed it seems that the green also vegetates on the bare rock.
Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert is in the heart of the Herault Gorges, in the Val de Gellone.
This medieval village, is an ideal base for excursions into nature that often end at the sight of the Pont du Diable.
This is where a small stream, the Verdus, ends its course in the Hérault that Guilhem, Count of Toulouse, founded an abbey long ago, in 804.
Verdus was once again much more impressive.
It was he who dug the valley, where the village and its abbey are, through the mountain that surrounds it today.
Admire every stone of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, classified as the most beautiful village in France and the main stop on the Arles road.
The village extends along the Verdus through the picturesque alleys.
Romanesque arches, Renaissance architraves, fountains, Saint-Laurent Church, ruins of the Castle du Géeant, small square shaded by a centuries-old plane tree.
