Nestled in the heart of Hérault, the charming village of Mourèze will seduce you with its narrow streets and its medieval-looking stone houses. From the Belvedere, enjoy a view of the cirque and its many strangely shaped rocks as well as this typical village in the South of France.
Enjoy a break at Lake Salagou, where you can enjoy your lunch (not included) while admiring this particular landscape with its shades of red and blue water. A table and chairs will be at your disposal during this pleasant moment in the heart of one of the most beautiful sites in Occitanie.
The indestructible Devil's Bridge, an architectural work steeped in mystery and legend from the 11th century, will offer you a breathtaking view of the Hérault Gorges, a well-preserved natural and wild site.
The picturesque village of Saint Guilhem-le-Désert, located in the Hérault Valley, is one of the most beautiful villages in France. Stroll through its narrow streets before heading to the heart of the village to discover Gellone Abbey, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Wonderful day with an amazing guide! David made sure everyone was getting the most out of the experience. Highly recommend!
First class experience. Beautiful stops on this trip. David is an excellent tour guide who was entertaining and provided the right level of information
it was a great one day trip through parts of Southern France. we went to several small villages and you had the feeling that time stood still there. We saw beautiful landscape all day long.
David was wonderful. The sites he selected for this tour were of the sort we might never have discovered on our own. Do note there’s a bit of hiking - a little more than we expected - but pleasantly little standing around. We were a group with two adults in their 50s and four young women in their early 20s on-average, and everyone had a great time.
Thank you, Sarah, for your feedback. I'm glad that you and the girls enjoyed the trip to Saint Guilhem and also the outing to the Camargue. For my part, I really enjoyed our discussions about American culture. See you soon, David.
Very nice experience. I highly recommend this outing. I could see very beautiful sites in its natural state. The guide is attentive, experienced and very caring which adds an extra touch to this magnificent experience.
Very nice day spent in the Hérault, with a knowledgeable of the region and passionate about his profession. In addition, David maintained the visit despite numerous cancellations.
Wonderful day of discovery around Saint Guilhem le Désert. David loves his area and shares it very well. We'll be back!
A day where we were able to get to know the scenic diversity and extraordinary places of the Herault perfectly staged. The tour is varied and lives on the great commitment and great mediation of David. Many thanks to David for this wonderful interesting day!
