Hey all! Tomorrow is my last day in Montpellier, than things will be up in the air for a while. I'll make another post tomorrow before I leave to let everyone know what's next...
Pont du Diable--Originally constructed by Benedictine monks in the 11th century. Supposedly construction was delayed since the devil would come and destroy the work each night, leading the foreman to make a deal selling his soul.
This is a 9th century Benedictine Abbey of Gellone in St. Guilhem, still inhabited by Carmelite nuns.
The town of St. Guilhem-le-Desert, a cute little town in the Languedoc-Roussillon National Park. All the little stores, like the Boulangerie down at the bottom, are built into these cavelike dwellings. It was adorable, with potable running-water fountains all around that just run down little crevasses in the street.
