One of the most beautiful villages in France... situated about 35 km to the northwest of Montpellier this Provençal village is part of the Grand Site de France des Gorges de l’Hérault, it enters the classification of the association “Les Plus Beaux Villages de France“.
In 804, the Count of Toulouse and Duke of Aquitaine Saint Guillaume (Guilhèm in langue d’oc) founded an abbey in a place in the Valley of the Hérault then away from any human presence, a “desert“, the valley of Gellone. The abbey was called Gellone Abbey, or, after his death in 812, William’s Abbey, and became the Abbey of Saint-Guilhem after his canonization in 1066.
The relic of a piece of the true cross attracts the devotion of many pilgrims and the abbey becomes a very important stage of pilgrimage. An agglomeration developed around the abbey.
In the Middle Ages, the abbey was on the territory of the diocese of Lodève while the nearby abbey of Aniane, founded around 782 by a relative of Guillaume, came under the diocese of Maguelone. During the French Revolution, the commune was provisionally named Verdus-le-Désert.
