A donjon, dating back to Carolingian times, towers over Roquebrun, that has a nice panorama. The Orb river is a public swimming pool.

The valley of the Orb river. Seen in the backdrop is the village Vieussan. The area is part of the "Parc naturel régional du Haut-Languedoc".

Looking out of the window of our bedroom at 9 o'clock in the morning in Saint-Saturnin-de-Lucian. About 300 people live in this very quiet village. www.le-mimosa.com/EN/index.html

The chapel "Saint-Géniès de Litenis" is located south of Saint-Jean-de-Fos. Today very isolated it was once the center of a settlement near a ford of the river Herault. In 804 the place was given by Charlemagne to his cousin Guillaume de Gellone (Saint Guilhem) . The church of today was erected within the 11th century on a spot, where a paleochristian sanctuary had been. As the settlement around the church got abandoned, the unattended church crumbled and after the French Revolution it was sold as a quarry. So half of the nave and the apse got demolished. The reconstruction started end of the 19th century. Unfortunately the chapel was locked.

This red/white mark is the navigation-system, as it indicates the "Grande Randonnée" (here GR653) I was on. But I was not the only creature using this kind of navigation . Hundreds of small snails had followed the sign as well - vertically.
