Saint-Étienne-d'Issensac Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Built in the Middle Ages, the Saint Etienne-d'Issensac bridge spans the Hérault near the former priory of the same name. Originally, it allowed the passage of pilgrims to Saint Guilhem, a stopover on the way to Saint Jacques de Compostela. It was built in the 14th century on the back of a donkey and has retained three of the five original arches. This stone bridge may have replaced an old wooden work of art. It is still in good condition today, but the numerous restorations it has undergone since the 17th century suggest that few medieval elements remain. Designed for the passage of pedestrians, carts and animals, it is poorly suited to car traffic, due to its narrowness. However, I happened to come across a car while passing it. Fortunately, there are angular reinforcements on the side to park and let pass, because the crossing between a car and a bicycle or a pedestrian is impossible.
The surface is cobblestone and a little chaotic. You will probably have to slow down and maybe even dismount.
Finally, it is a bathing place, fitted out in summer.

Dip at Saint-Jean-de-Buèges

Highlight • Other

Between the col des lavagnes and the rise of Causse de la Selle, a place outside the world where everything is only calm and pleasure. Lawn and paving stones to put bikes and towels, very cute landscape and a few small steps to facilitate access to the river.
