Canyon du Diable
During the hike entitled “The Devil’s Canyon and the Gibret Cross”, we discovered the extraordinary part of the canyon. The hike described today, which offers a striking contrast in scenery, covers only the canyon section. It is an exceptional geological site that we wanted to show our friends without having to repeat the long hike we had done previously. It unfolds within a very distinctive geological formation known as a “ruffe” (a term used in the Hérault region to describe the red soils formed from pelites). The hike is a round trip and presents no particular difficulties.

Montpeyroux – St-Guilhem-le-Désert via the St-Jacques trail (GR® 653)
Whether you’re a contemplative soul, a sports enthusiast, a nature lover or a history buff, here is a route along the southernmost foothills of the Causse du Larzac: an easy one-way walk offering sweeping views of the Languedoc’s main peaks, with the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees as a backdrop. The route culminates in a gentle and refreshing finish in one of the most beautiful villages in France, Saint-Guilhem-Le-Désert, in the heart of the Gorges de l’Hérault, an area designated a ‘Grand Site de France’.
Following a fire on 5 April 2023 on the hills above Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert and Saint-Jean-de-Fos, the route remains passable but the PR® des Fenestrettes is affected, as is the Arles trail (GR®653). Please check with the Saint-Guilhem – Vallée de l’Hérault Tourist Office to find out whether the route is open.
