Hiking

The abbey of Saint-Pons de Gémenos is a Cistercian abbey and housed Cistercian nuns. It dates from 1205. Unfortunately, due to the remoteness of the site, it became dangerous for the nuns to stay there and they left in 1426. After having been private property, the estate was restored and became a departmental park belonging to the county council.
