Pont du Diable (Hérault)
Pont du Diable
An 11th-century Romanesque stone bridge spanning the Hérault gorge, a World Heritage site, with clear green water below for swimming and paddling.
The Pont du Diable was built in the 11th century jointly by the monasteries of Gellone and Aniane. It is one of the oldest Romanesque bridges in France and is part of the World Heritage listing of the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage routes. The water of the Hérault gorge beneath is an emerald green and is a popular spot for swimming and kayaking in summer. The car park at the Grand Site Gorges de l'Hérault Visitor Centre charges a fee, and shuttle buses run between it and the village of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert.
