Loop in the Grand Pic St-Loup from the Séranne to the Hérault gorges

The territory stretching from the Séranne massif to the Hérault gorges, dominated by the Pic Saint-Loup, marks the transition between the Cévennes foothills and the Mediterranean plain. The landscape is spectacular, composed of vast limestone plateaus, steep cliffs, and the karst topography that characterizes the region. These expanses are covered with typical Mediterranean flora, the garrigue, rich in holm oaks, thyme, and rosemary, perfuming the air. The history here is ancient and illustrious, marked by the medieval heritage of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert and the famous Pont du Diable (Devil's Bridge). The fauna is diverse, with birds of prey nesting in the Hérault gorges and wildlife adapted to the plateau's aridity. Today, this region is also renowned for its viticulture, particularly the Pic Saint-Loup appellation, which showcases this unique terroir.
