    The Abbey of Saint-Pierre-aux-Liens in Joncels, better known by its simplified name of Joncels Abbey, is a superb Romanesque building.
    Of what was once one of the most important Christian religious centers in Languedoc, only the church, the chapter house, and part of the cloister remain.


    The simplicity and beauty of the carvings in this beautiful stone give you a glimpse of its former magnificence.

    A village of superior interest, Joncels dominates the Gravezon valley, and is crossed by narrow streets with picturesque houses. A stopover for pilgrims who went to Compostela coming from Lodève, Joncels preserves the remains of a Benedictine Abbey whose origins date back to the 8th century and which was, in the Middle Ages, one of the most important in Languedoc.

    This is an old Abbey abandoned at the time of the French revolution but it is well worth a stop.
