Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert
A medieval hamlet on the Chemin de Saint-Jacques pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela, Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert sits where the narrow valley of the Gellone river meets the steep gorges of the Hérault in southern France's Hérault department. Part of the Grand Site de France des Gorges de l'Hérault, the village is listed among Les Plus Beaux Villages de France and holds two Natura 2000 protected natural areas nearby. A little handful of cafés and restaurants serve visitors despite the hamlet's size.
