Make an unscheduled photo stop or take a detour to discover a panorama: do you love doing that? Me too. What a treat !

At the schedule that suits you, morning or afternoon

You decide the pick up and drop off times. Of course, I'll give you some tips to make the most of it.

A selection of the most beautiful places to visit

Who better than a local guide to select the most beautiful sites to visit and the best routes?

St. Guilhem is a special place for me. This is where I started my profession as a guide, a long time ago. I love this village.

The program of this trip

to St. Guilhem le Desert

During this trip, I will be both your driver and guide. I will show you around St. Guilhem le Desert since, as an official guide, I am authorized to guide you in this village.

I suggest you make this trip in the morning or afternoon. Allow about 4 hours in total.

It is also possible to extend this excursion to take the time to have lunch at noon in St. Guilhem le Desert. I will show you the prices below on this page.

Photo stop at the Devil's Bridge

Le Pont du Diable is located near Saint Guilhem le Désert

The Devil's Bridge at the entrance to the Gorges de l'Hérault

A few kilometers before arriving in St. Guilhem le Desert, we will stop for a few minutes at the Pont du Diable site.

I will tell you its legend but also its true story. It is a Romanesque bridge built in the 11th century and which has since been altered.

This will be the opportunity to take some beautiful photos of the entrance to the Herault canyon.



VISIT OF ST. GUILHEM LE DESERT

Gellone Abbey is the origin of the village

Panorama of the village and the abbey

We will then visit the village of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert.

Walking through its main street lined with many shops and beautiful medieval facades, including the Lorimy house, we will arrive at Gellone abbey which is in the center of the village.

The Romanesque church is magnificent, as is the partially preserved cloister (the missing half is now in New York).

I will not fail to bring you to my favorite panorama to enjoy the most beautiful view of the abbey and the village.

It can be a hotel, an AirBnb, the port of Sete, the airport of Montpellier or Beziers ... or any other place.

If I pick you up elsewhere than in Montpellier, Sete or Beziers, I will tell you the price before booking.
