Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert
In 806 Saint Guilhem established the monastery of Gellone here. The village has maintained its historic state because of its isolation.
The abbey became a very important pilgrimage site in the middle ages due to a relic of a piece of the true cross was housed here. The town developed around the abbey.
