September 23, 2025, Sublime route du Salagou

This superb route is extremely exotic. It crosses the Salagou Valley and takes you straight to the characteristic ochre trails around Lake Salagou.

Several roads converge on the Col de la Merquière, a delight for cyclists. Especially since one of them leads straight to the Salagou Valley.

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

This magnificent bridge allows you to admire: the entrance to the Hérault gorges; the Devil's Bridge, a medieval structure with two main arches (plus two secondary ones) which spans the Hérault at the level of the Gouffre Noir since the 11th century; the Saint-Jean-de-Fos bridge, which does not have the aura of the Devil's Bridge but which is still found in many photos and remains a very pretty bridge with a single arch; and an aqueduct in the background.
