Bridge at the entrance to the Hérault gorges, listed as a Monument Historique since 1935.
This Roman bridge, halfway between Aniane and Saint-Jean-de-Fos and a UNESCO World Heritage site, was built in the 11th century by the monks of Aniane and Gellone to facilitate the passage of pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela. Its name is linked to a legend in which the Devil tried to destroy the works every night. Thanks to a cunning agreement between the Devil and the patron saint Guilhem, the men succeeded in deceiving Satan, infuriating him to the point of falling into the river and being swallowed up forever.

Les navettes (toutes les 15/20 minutes) sont très pratiques pour faire St Guilhem du Désert au pont du Diable car il n'y a quasiment pas de place pour se garer.
L’Hérault méandre ici entre de gros blocs rocheux, donnant à voir un filet d’eau émeraude dont la température est plus qu’appréciable lors des grosses chaleurs. Le paysage y est tout simplement de toute beauté.
