Hérault,
the river which gave its name to the département
it flows through has its source in Mont Aigoual at the
heart of the Cévennes. It crosses a whole series
of wonderful and diversified landscapes. It starts its
journey in the middle of mountains coverd with nut trees
it then crosses vignards and olive tree fiels to finally
rich the garrigue and throw itself in the mediterranean
sea. Over time it sculpted a contrasted landscape. Narrow
ravinas and fast flow become wider and calmer.
Hérault attracts many tourists as you can bath
or kayak on it in the middle of the wild nature which
gives a unique sensation of freedom.
In order to access it you need to go along the different
valleys which border the herault. Make sure you don't
forget to visit the wonderful villages on your way...
The valley of the Buèges |
This valley
give access to a part of Hérault and
is full of beautiful views and green surroundings.
There, you will find the very cute village de
Saint Jean de Buèges and its well preserved
stone houses...
