A bit of tourism
Stay in the Terrasses …DU LARZAC
 

The Terrasses du Larzac area is a brilliant combination of nature and culture, the wild open spaces have been zealously protected, and yet it’s easily accessible from most European centres (A75 & A750 motorway, airport and TGV station in Montpellier). Here more than anywhere where, the countryside, heritage, festivals and gastronomy can turn a visit into a sheer delight..

Among the Causses and Hérault valley’s outstandingly varied and stunning countryside, some sites stand out for their intrinsic character and beauty.

 

Each has a charm all of its own, where the earth goddess, Gaia, has excelled herself :

  • Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert: a wild, protected site, ‘the jewel of Languedocien romanesque art’
  • Le Cirque de Navacelles: a breathtaking panorama
  • The magical Hérault gorges, created by an intriguing combination of geological phenomena,
  • The Clamouse grotto, lake Salagou, Cirque de Mourèze

    • A rich cultural heritage is illustrated in :

    • St Guilhem le désert on the road to St Jacques de Compostelle
    • The Museum and Cathedral of Lodève
    • The priory of St Michel de Grandmont
    • The prehistoric site of Cambouse and its grotto
    • The potters’ village of Saint Jean-de-Fos
    • Aniane and the circular walled village of Puéchabon
