The magnificent site of the Pont du Diable allows you to admire both: the entrance into the Hérault gorges, the Pont du Diable, a medieval work with 2 main arches (plus 2 secondary ones) which spans the Hérault at the level of the Black chasm since the 11th century, the Saint-Jean-de-Fos bridge, which does not have the aura of the Devil's Bridge but which is still found in many photos and remains a very pretty bridge of only one arch, an aqueduct in the background.

The Pont du Diable of Saint-Jean-de-Fos is an 11th-century bridge. It used to be an important crossing point for traders and pilgrims on the Herault River.
Shortly after the bridge downstream, the river piles up to a lake, which is used as a bathing lake.

View of the old bridge from Roman times, which has been built over and over again over the centuries. The story can be clearly seen in the side view.
