A few kilometers from Nézignan-l’Évêque, in the municipality of Saint-Thibéry, Château Sainte-Cécile dates back to the 18th century. Originally a "country house" intended for holidays, the estate gradually developed around viticulture, but also silkworm farming and alcohol distillation. This former bastide was profoundly transformed over time, notably by the addition of an Italianate decor: Florentine facade, Corinthian columns, loggia, terrace adorned with Venetian lions, and balustered staircases. This transformation earned it the nickname "Venetian folly". In 1933, the castle was acquired by the father of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the Marquis Jacques de Saint-Exupéry. The writer stayed there regularly in the following years. Today, the castle hosts guest rooms and receptions, while preserving the main architectural elements that have shaped its identity.

This 18th-century residence hosted a vineyard, a silkworm farm, and an alcohol distillery before becoming a bed and breakfast and reception venue today. You can admire its beautiful Florentine facade from the outside, the building having been built inspired by Italian Renaissance castles.

Be careful not to confuse them! These are not ancient volcanoes, but the remains of a mountain range that has undergone erosion. Indeed, unlike the recent volcanism of Salagou (around 1.5 million and 750,000 years ago), the reliefs stretching before you are the vestiges of an ancient mountain range formed nearly 400 million years ago (Hercynian orogeny). Subsequently, hundreds of millions of years of erosion have shaped the landscape you admire today.

Old wheat mill converted into a hydroelectric power station. (1988). The 11th-century "Bled" mill is in a perfect state of preservation. It supplied the local population with wheat and barley flour. The motive force of the water drove a heavy wheel that crushed the millers' grain. This medieval mill has ceased its activity but bears witness to the economic activity of this small commune in Bas-Languedoc.

Classified as a Historic Monument since 1862, this bridge offers a dive into the past and testifies to the know-how of medieval builders. Despite the centuries that have passed and the sometimes violent floods of the Hérault, it retains a robust elegance, the result of ancient engineering and solid construction. The exact origin of the structure has long fueled debates among historians. Although it has sometimes been attributed to the Roman era, the most recent research now confirms its medieval dating.
