Clermont-l'Hérault

Highlight • Other

Clermont l'Hérault is a very lively town centre, gateway to the Grand Site de France Salagou - Cirque de Mourèze. The building that dominates the heart of the town is the imposing St Paul's church: a remarkable example of southern Gothic. Embedded in the city ramparts, this 13th century building was part of a defensive system. The interior is incredibly bright and airy... On Wednesday mornings, a wonderful market is held around the Saint-Paul church.
The town is overlooked by the Guilhem castle. Built on the site of the Puech Castel which dominates the town, the building dates from the 12th century. Despite a turbulent history, it has retained its typical circular towers and some ramparts. An exceptional and very rare testimony to a bygone era, it was recently restored by the town: you will be impressed by the magnificent views of the town and the plain from the castle grounds. In Clermont, we love going down from the Saint-Paul church and window shopping in the rue du Doyen René Gosse to reach the Allées Salengro: the lively heart of the city, and a wonderful Languedoc atmosphere, with plane trees and wines to boot...

Clermont-l'Hérault

Highlight • Settlement

This beautiful town was once called Clermont-Lodève. In 1667, Colbert encouraged the prosperity of the cloth industry of Clermont-l'Hérault. This activity greatly contributed to the growth of the city. The proximity of the waters of the Dourbie made this possible.
