The Abbey of Sainte-Marie de Fontcaude is a former Premonstratensian abbey dating from the 12th century, located in the commune of Cazedarnes in the French department of Hérault in the Occitanie region, of which it is in fact a hamlet, on the edge of the territory of Cazouls-lès-Béziers. The name means "hot fountain" in Occitan.

A green 80 km cycle ride on an old railway line

Here there is a steep ascent and a steep descent, because the path no longer follows the railway line, up to 10%

On Passa Païs, linger for a few moments at a tower, topped with a cross, and continue to Saint-Etienne d’Albagnan. Option: as soon as you enter Prémian, go down to the right towards the centre of the village. Along the meander of the Jaur, overlooked by the Virgin of Mercadal, follow the artistic and heritage trail “Au fil des Rues” which allows you to discover the history of Prémian and its inhabitants, through testimonies and artistic creations.

The linguistic proximity of the "Pont Eiffel", which spans the river Jaur here at Olargues, and the low mountain range "Eifel" in the far west of Germany is no coincidence: The family of the designer - whose world-famous tower of Paris (named after its builder) is probably known to everyone - has German roots. The ancestors of the Eiffel Tower builder Gustave EIFFEL come from the Eifel town of Marmagen (in the Euskirchen district, North Rhine-Westphalia). The village square there - if you are interested, see the following hiking highlight https://www.komoot.com/de-de/highlight/1830307 - is named after him.

What a magnificent view! Definitely worth the detour ;) Be careful on the technical descents, they are superb but require attention!

Superb green cycle path

From here we appreciate the viaduct that crosses the Jaur gorge. It's amazing how this work of engineering blends into a lush green setting!
