Brenas is a ‘special’ place, a hinge between the Monts d’Orb and the Salagou lake, with its incredible charm. The village overlooks the Salagou valley and its cattle and sheep farms that provide the milk for Roquefort cheese. The source of the Salagou river is located at the Col de la Merquière, the boundary of the commune with Dio Valquières and Carlencas. On the descent after Brenas and the Mas bas, an impressive viewpoint over a canyon of ruffes: in the background, the castellas de Mérifons, built on a volcanic peak. In spring, the contrasts of colours are striking. The bright yellow of the flowering broom mixes with the green of the holm oaks and the red of the ruffe: welcome to the Grand Site Salagou – Cirque de Mourèze!

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.

A charming village nestled at the confluence of the Gravezon, the Nize and the Dourdou! The history of Lunas dates back to the Roman road that linked the lower Languedoc to Rouergue. Surely succeeding a Gallo-Roman oppidium, the Lunarenses castrum is mentioned as early as 806 in a charter of the Gélone abbey (that of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert). The town is dominated by the Redondel rock, an ancient fortified castle belonging to the baron of Faugères, Viscount of Béziers. Razed in 1627, it was rebuilt on the banks of the Gravezon in 1641 by Henry de Narbonne. A true summary of the history of Languedoc, and a very pleasant cultural, refreshing and gastronomic stopover… A small detour to enjoy the leisure center of Prades, and a break on the site of the Saint-Georges chapel are essential in Lunas

A village quite representative of Languedoc

Cute little town with train connections and beautiful climbs in all directions

This picturesque little village has been classified as a green station. We find traces of its existence until 909. Four hamlets were located below the castle which was destroyed during the wars of religion. Rebuilt in the center of the village, it is still inhabited. Lunas is located on one of the routes to Santiago de Compostela. It also has the particularity of having a railway station.

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.
