Super nice ‘tour’. The portion from the end of the lake is not always accessible. You might have to take the road which is ok and safe.

This tiny and peaceful village, with a worldwide reputation for the benefits of its water, is a perfect location for hikers and gravel enthusiasts. You have many options of loops from there. Enjoy!

The bucolic charm of the places and the banks of the Orb is striking. The economy of Avène has always been based on significant mining activity that began under Roman rule and continued until 1954, when the Rabasse mines closed. Created in 1962 for hydroelectric production and regulation of the Orb, the Lac des Monts d'Orb (or Lac d'Avène) is 6 kilometres long and covers an area of 190 hectares. An old lead and silver mine is now submerged under the lake: the mines and their exploitation were a source of wealth for the Orb valley, from Antiquity until the 1950s. Today, it is above all nature that provides Avène with one of its benefits: water from the depths of the Languedoc earth. This water that has been shaping a destiny for two and a half centuries, a vocation inspired by Thermalism. It is impossible not to go to the Thermal Baths, a stone's throw south of the village (the markings of the Sentier des 2 Lacs allow you to reach the site on foot, and the connection is pretty!). The Thermal Baths site is peaceful, relaxing... like the range of well-being and beauty products from the Avène brand. Beyond the thermal area, there is a magnificent hotel and an excellent restaurant! The establishment is committed to a truly eco-responsible approach: use of local products, innovative and energy-efficient architectural and technical choices...

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

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.

Its creams and treatments with such recognizable packaging are a must in French pharmacies and for some of us, have the scent of vacation. If its thermal cures are world famous, the city itself is much less so. Made up of no less than 14 hamlets or farms, it has only 400 permanent residents. Enjoying a dual Mediterranean and oceanic climate, it is located in the exceptional Natural Regional Park of Haut-Languedoc, and more precisely in the landscape unit of the small causses of the upper Orb valley and Lake Avène . The Monts d'Orb occupy a significant space and offer preserved nature where the forest, by turns mountainous and Mediterranean, stands out. This landscape unit is also characterized by a mid-mountain type landscape, which presents a strong contrast with the atmosphere of the Hérault coastline. Clearly, this department is full of wonderful surprises! This unique location makes Avène the ideal starting point for numerous hikes, both on foot and by bike. Don’t hesitate to go boating or paddleboarding on the artificial lake of Avène, if the water level allows it.

These public toilets are a life saver! Clean washbasins and drinkable water. Filled all my bottles and made it back to Beziers! Thank you to Andreas!

As far as I know, there is only one restaurant on the tour, "La Clairière Restaurant bistronomique. Cambon et Salvergues" in Cambon. It's good that in Cambon there is also the possibility to refill drinking water at the public toilets.

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.
