A place worth a little detour and not particularly difficult to access.

Easy hike, also suitable for cycling

Joncels dominates the Gravezon valley, and is crossed by narrow streets with picturesque houses. A stopover for pilgrims on their way to Compostela from Lodève, Joncels preserves the remains of a Benedictine Abbey whose origins date back to the 8th century and which was one of the most important in Languedoc in the Middle Ages. After crossing the cloister, the path heads towards Lunas, following the Way from Arles to Compostela. In Lunas, a pretty village nestled at the confluence of the Gravezon, Nize and Dourdou, detours are essential to enjoy the leisure centre of La Prades, and a break at the site of the Saint-Georges chapel, then it climbs steeply to reach the Dio plateau, finding the salutary shade of the Monts d'Orb national forest. We leave the route of the Grandes Traversées VTT du Massif Central and de l’Hérault to enjoy beautiful views of the Orb valley, to reach a magnificent panorama at the paragliding take-off point of Montjoux: Bédarieux, le Caroux… A pretty path, then a visual shock: you arrive at Dio! Sheltered by white limestone cliffs and emerging from the red earth characteristic of the surroundings of the Salagou lake, the village nestles under the imposing silhouette of its castle, a true legendary fortress.

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

Boussagues is an enchanting medieval village, which seduces with its well-preserved historical heritage. Nestled in a bucolic setting, you can stroll through cobbled streets, among stone houses and the remains of fortifications.

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.
