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.

Very nice area, mostly shaded path. There are even several small waterfalls when there are many more on the previous days. Be careful, people who are afraid of heights may have difficulty on this trail.

Small village at the bottom of the gorges, beautiful view and little traffic out of season.

Long before the discovery of electricity and the associated inventions, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements - which on the one hand were useful, but on the other hand could also be a threat as a force of nature - for various purposes. A suitable example of the human ingenuity of earlier generations is such a mill: the heavy millstones with which, for example, grain was ground into grain or oil was pressed, could be powered with the help of water or - as here - the wind. Hardly any of them still fulfill their original functions today, but fortunately some have at least been preserved as evidence of the old days.

Here the vis is dry, but you can see its resurgence 4.5 km away. Camping possible 2 euros per night per person. Spend the night there to cycle back in the fresh air.

The Rédounel windmill is one of the first mills on the Larzac causses. It accompanied the agricultural activities of the Templars established in La Couvertoirade from the 12th century. It has been restored and is still in remarkable condition today.

The charm of a small Occitan village leaning against the foothills of the Causse du Larzac, distinguished by the density of its buildings and its simple architecture. Deserted about twenty years ago, it owes its rebirth to foreign immigration (mainly English). The houses, built of local sandstone, rise on the right bank of the river. Some have retained evidence of Renaissance architecture (mullioned windows and transoms, ornate lintels, etc.). Saint-Privat experienced significant economic development at the end of the 19th century, with the exploitation of its subsoil. Rich in sandstone, it allowed the manufacture of many grinding wheels for sharpening tools or polishing marble, which were transported to Lodève, then the ports of Sète or Montpellier to be exported to Mediterranean countries.

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.
