The historic center of the village has retained its medieval appearance and offers a maze of narrow alleys and cobbled streets, with tall houses adorned with beautiful exterior staircases, vaulted passages and architectural details that take you back in time.

Notre-Dame-de-Londres
Highlight • Other
In Celtic times, “Llyn dinas”, which became the city of London, designated “the hill of the pond”. In Languedoc, Loundro would have meant “muck, stagnant waters” and the terms Lundras or Lundrias, which after mutation gave London, were used in medieval writings to characterize the now dry valley. The homonymy with the English capital therefore comes from this common etymology.
The village is a mecca for the practice of “Tambourin”, a typically Languedoc team ball sport.
