Chemin de Saint Guilhem: what is the most beautiful part? 🌿✨

The Chemin de Saint Guilhem, one of the jewels of the French GR, is an invitation to discover beautiful, calm landscapes and a rich history.

Crossing picturesque villages, spectacular gorges and wild plateaus, it seduces nature lovers and spiritual enthusiasts every year, between Aumont-Aubrac and Saint Guilhem le Désert.

So what is the most beautiful part of this legendary 237km long trail? 🤔

The Cirque de Navacelles: a breathtaking natural show 🌌

If you ask hikers what their favorite stop is, many will cite the Cirque de Navacelles, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Located in the Gorges de la Vis, this impressive canyon offers exceptional panoramic views. The meanders of the river and the small hamlet nestled in the middle of the circus create a magical atmosphere. It is the ideal place for a contemplative break and memorable photos 📸.

The Hérault Gorges: a wild paradise 🏞️

Another essential stop is the crossing of the Gorges de l'Hérault. The trails border vertiginous limestone cliffs and run along turquoise waters, perfect for a refreshing swim.

This is where the path fully connects you to the raw, calming beauty of nature.

Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert: the pearl of the way 🏰✨

Finally, the highlight of this route is undoubtedly the village of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, classified among the “Most Beautiful Villages in France”. Its medieval streets, its Romanesque abbey and its authentic atmosphere make it a magical place where time seems to stand still. Ending your hike here is an unforgettable experience.
