Beautiful place and view

Possibility of making a loop to get to the Château de Montferrand from the car park

The castle gate! The start of the GR74 is announced from St Guilhem le Désert. An imposing and impressive gate, which suggests the grandeur of the castle, unfortunately in ruins, and forbidden to access.

From the water tanks, accessible from the rear, we have a view of the peak, the castle of Montferrand and the plain of St Mathieu

Surrounded by forests, meadows and vineyards, this 18th century castle offers an enchanting setting for a walk or a contemplative break. The paths that wind around the estate allow you to admire the castle while discovering the richness of the local fauna and flora.

Be careful, the first loop is not easy with a not very maintained path, difficult to follow and lots of rocks. It took us a good hour to get to the crossroads and we didn't continue. On the other hand, the return on the 2nd loop was very easy and pleasant (15 mins)

The Château du Géant, perched on a rocky peak above the village of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert in Hérault, is shrouded in a fascinating legend. In the past, a Giant and a Magpie terrorized the villagers. Guilhem, disguised as a servant, challenged the Giant and threw him from the cliffs of the castle. Since then, the Gellone valley has lived in peace, without ever seeing the magpie again

Imposing ruins, it is hard to imagine the work to transport the materials and build these buildings 🥵
