Saint Guilhem le Désert, A Must-See Medieval Village (UNESCO), South of France

Описание: Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert is classified as UNESCO site and also one of the most beautiful villages in South of France. It is located in the Herault Valley, Languedoc-Roussillon, South of France. It is north west of Montpellier, 40 minutes drive.

The monastery in Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert dates to the 9th century when it was founded by Guilhem, Count of Toulouse and grandson of the Duke of Aquitaine. Guilhem was a cousin of Charlemagne and noted in his time as one of the emperor’s most valorous knights for his battles against the Saracens of Spain. As it was on the route of pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in the 10th century, the monastery prospered and most of the Abbey of Gellone visited today dates from the 11th century when it was rebuilt in the Romanesque style. As the medieval pilgrimage route to the shrine of Saint James of Compostella in Spain developed in the 10th century, the monastery of Saint-Guilhem-le-Desert became a staging point on one of the four main routes through Europe.
