생퐁드토미에르 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

구 생 퐁 대성당 생 퐁 드 토미에르를 이해하려면 이곳에 들르지 않고는 어렵습니다. 이 건물은 936년에 설립된 베네딕토회 수도원의 옛 수도원 교회로, 그 주위로 도시가 발전했습니다. 1318년, 수도원은 새로운 주교좌의 중심지가 되었고, 교회는 혁명 때까지 대성당의 지위를 유지했습니다. 대부분이 12세기 후반에 지어진 로마네스크 양식의 건물은 여전히 이 격동의 역사의 흔적을 간직하고 있습니다. 중세 시대에 요새화된 이 대성당은 1567년 종교 전쟁 중에 심하게 손상되었습니다. 이후 18세기에는 그 모습이 크게 바뀌었습니다. 1716년에는 성가대석의 방향이 바뀌었고, 동쪽에는 새로운 고전주의 양식의 파사드가 건설되었습니다. 중세 유적은 특히 주목할 만합니다. 북쪽 파사드의 두 개의 성벽으로 둘러싸인 탑은 건물의 방어적 성격을 상기시키는 반면, 옛 서쪽 파사드에는 최후의 만찬, 발 씻김, 승천, 십자가 처형을 묘사한 귀중한 로마네스크 양식의 부조가 남아 있습니다. 내부에는 1772년산 대리석 장식, 성가대석 좌석, 오르간도 남아 있습니다.

Jaur 계곡에 위치한 Hérault의 Hauts cantons 중심부에 있는 Riols는 Haut-Languedoc의 전형적인 광활한 시골 마을입니다. 이 마을은 10세기에 설립되어 오랫동안 Riols에 속해 있던 Saint-Pons-de-Thomières 수도원의 역사와 밀접하게 관련되어 있습니다. 중세부터 Riols는 수도원 소유지 네트워크에 통합되었습니다. 오늘날에도 고대 중심부는 Jaur 강이 흐르는 계곡에 자리 잡고 있으며, 이 강을 중심으로 주요 교통로와 활동이 발전했습니다. Pont-Vieux와 강 위의 여러 구조물은 마을과 수로 사이의 긴밀한 관계를 증명합니다.

The village of Riols, a small industrial center specializing in draperies and woolens in the 19th century, is located on the "Passa Païs" greenway. Points of interest include the Banasse bridge over the Jaur river, the Church of Saint Peter and Paul, and its main thoroughfare, Rue Basse.

Former railway tunnel now serves as hiking and cycling path

Beautiful B&B with a large garden and excellent breakfast. We stayed there on our long-distance hike from Tarifa (Spain) to Switzerland and can highly recommend this accommodation.

The town of Riols is located between Saint Pons de Thomières and Olargues, on the Passa Païs greenway. On either side of the Jaur valley, from Lake Vesoles to the former 19th-century Ardouane Abbey, this very large town has many hiking trails leading to the Monts du Somail. The magnificent Banasse bridge over the Jaur, as well as the Saint-Pierre-et-Paul church and the layout of Rue Basse, the main artery, bear witness to the prosperity of the textile industry, particularly drapery, from the 16th century. From the village, a small road leads to the Cabarétou pass, a real challenge for sporty cyclists. The Passa Païs Greenway invites fans of gentle journeys to daydream... The Notre-Dame-de-Trédos chapel, as emblematic as it is majestic, is worth the hike or bike ride leading to its doors.

A little bit of history: The history of Riols is linked to that of Saint-Pons-de-Thomières: in 936, the founding act of the abbey mentions the donation made to the monastery by Raymond Pons, Count of Toulouse, of the lands of Tarbouriech, Coumayres, Condades, Cassillac and Rieulets. In 940, the Archbishop of Narbonne gave the churches of Saint-Pierre-de-Riols and Notre-Dame-de-Tredos to the Abbot of Saint-Pons. In 1318, when the diocese of Saint-Pons was created, the Abbot became bishop and the monks formed the chapter of the cathedral. The income of the abbey was then separated: in Riols, the chapter retained the seigneurial rights over the lands of Garrigues, while the bishop retained the rest of the seigneury. During the Revolution, the rare possessions of the clergy and emigrants were sold. In the 19th century, Riols, with more than 2,000 inhabitants, became a small industrial center, with more than a dozen clothiers and wool mills.

Nicknamed the “city of marble”, Saint-Pons-de-Thomières is surrounded by quarries whose stone today adorns every corner of the town, such as the baroque choir of the cathedral. A walk is essential to discover the source of the Jar!
